Episode 004 – Dana, Dermatology PA

Ever dream about making skincare your career? In today’s episode, I talked with Dana — a Dermatology PA who did exactly that. We start by chatting through some practical skincare tips before getting into her path to becoming a Physician Assistant, earning her Doctor of Medical Science, and what a day in her life looks like now.

Dana shares stories about working in a dermatology clinic on the Upper East Side (yes, she saw a few celeb clients!), how she almost talked herself out of applying to PA school, and what it was like doing a rotation in Guam where she helped deliver babies and lived through the 2023 super typhoon.

We also get into the mentors who guided her, her return to the Arizona office that first sparked her interest in dermatology, and how she balances being a new mom with a demanding but meaningful career.

If you’re curious about life as a PA, dermatology, skincare, or just love a good career story, you’ll love this one.
