Kristen Sena

Quinnipiac Physician Assistant Program, Class of 2018

I was born and grew up in in Superior, Colorado. I attended the University of Colorado, Boulder and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Integrative Physiology.

I volunteered and worked as an EMT for an ambulance service outside Denver, Colorado. I have also worked as an EMT in the Emergency Room at Children’s Hospital Colorado, and as an adjunct instructor for an EMT class at Front Range Community College.

The Urban Service Track is a great opportunity for current and future health care providers to help out in underserved communities in Connecticut. I believe health care is and always will be in service of our patients, so that we, as providers, must do everything we can to ensure our patients get the best possible care. Outside of the doctor’s office, everyone deserves to know the many ways they can improve their own health and the health of families; we are facilitators of this process of learning. UST will give me the opportunity to improve the lives of patients both as a student and as a future practitioner.
