"I would have to say, 'If you feel like you want to specialize in one area and then change your mind, go with it. We all have that special calling in our life. We just have to listen for it.'"

"I would encourage anyone who is beginning a career as a medical assistant to remember to care for themselves as much as they do their patients. It is very easy to get caught up in day-to-day work and forget that our physical and emotional well-being is just as important. I would tell them that this is a great career path with many opportunities to grow and learn."

"If I could give advice to someone considering a career as a medical assistant, I would say, 'Be open to changes and unexpected discoveries.' I started college thinking I may pursue a career in nursing. However, like many other things in life, things took a turn and I have had opportunities to work in many different specialty areas."
