About AngelaAs early as kindergarten, Angela knew she wanted to be a nurse. By high school, she had developed a passion for biology, anatomy, and physiology, and made the final decision to pursue a career in medicine the first in her family to do so.At Beacon, Angela gets the opportunity to serve a broad range of patient needs each day, serving as a primary point of care for many. I learned that listening to patients, and obtaining a good health history, are just as important as accurately interpreting test results, she says. With that in mind, she adds, I put my heart and soul into my patients, treating them as I would my own family.She chose Beacon because, she says, Beacon is well known for their integrity and compassion. As a Physician Assistant, she notes, I have been able to work with a group of physicians who are well known for their excellent medical care, while learning a new niche, and continuing to expand my knowledge and skills.In Her Own WordsWho is or was the most influential person/role modelin your life?
