WAR EAGLE! My name is Kelsey White and I graduated from Auburn University with a B.S. in Biomedical Science. Prior to starting PA school, I worked as a Certified Nurse Aide at a long-term care facility in Columbia, Tennessee and as a Research Assistant in the HDFS department at Auburn University focusing on health disparities specifically in rural Alabama. My nine-year-old black cat, Rolo, made the big move with me from Alabama to Cleveland this past May. During my free time I enjoy running, SEC football, and cooking.
