Empowered PAs

Sooo excited to present on Emergency Management of Pediatric Sepsis in Houston Saturday at 2:15pm for 🙌 I'm excited to connect with friends and learn from colleagues. This is one of my favorite conferences to go to- there WILL be photos posted, you've been warned 😂

If you have the 2024 app downloaded, you can add the session to your calendar and download the clinical pathway handout :) (or find it with a google search)

👏Big thanks to for having me this week! I presented "Emergency Management of Pediatric Sepsis" at their annual conference this week and really enjoyed it!

🗣️This was my 6th of 7 presentations this year and did not disappoint! It was also fun to see the my amazing PA friends up there too!

🌴I've been a member of FAPA for years but this was the first time I presented anything- and I can say as a speaker I felt welcomed and loved their amazing set up.. they really know how to put on a solid conference. (And specific thanks to and for being so helpful!)

📸Also- I know this is random but I am SO grateful for the professional photos they took.. I know I'm new to speaking but this was the first conference to do so an it's something I wish more conferences did. Friends will take picture in the audience which is so nice but just not the same.

🧐 Did you know that you do NOT always need to be a member to speak at a state PA conference? They will bring in expert PAs from other states to speak! This means there are a minimum 50 PA associations (plus AAPA) to consider if you ever thought about travelling to speak.

Have you ever considered speaking at a conference? What's been holding you back?

🌱Wellness means paying attention to your needs and honoring them. As clinicians we are "on" almost all the time- clinical work or nonclinical work, professional growth.. you name it, but our hustle game is STRONG 🙌

🔥For me, the past few months have been full of professional highs- lots of presentations and conferences, and it's been amazing! While I've truly enjoyed the time, I am starting to recognize I need some time off - to reset and stay off of social media for a bit.

❤️There are some personal reasons too- but the point is that RECOGNIZING and honoring your own needs is so incredibly important.

🌴So- here's to July- hopefully it will be full of sleeping in, connecting with loved ones and getting outside!

❤️I hope this inspires you to take a break from social media (and work if possible!).

See you all in August!
