Bio
Hi everyone! My name is Christina Minenna. I am a current Physician Assistant student at Ithaca College. Prior to coming to Ithaca College, I received an MS in Human Physiology from Boston University. I love learning about everything in the human body and I love teaching! In the future, I would like to work as a Physician Assistant in the emergency room as well as teach PA school/medical school classes. For fun, I like to play video games and I also like to play chess. I have 2 cats, their names are Sasquatch and Jasper. I currently live with my partner in upstate New York while we are both finishing our graduate programs. I look forward to meeting you!Project ideas
