Dariana Pinzon

Compassionate and driven student with hands-on experience in primary care and sports medicine. Holding a Master of Science in Medical Nutrition with a 4.0 GPA, I combine a foundation in preventive medicine, nutrition, and evidence-based practice with direct patient care experience as a Medical Assistant. My background serving diverse populations, including Spanish-speaking communities, has strengthened my commitment to addressing health disparities and providing culturally responsive care. I am dedicated to advancing my career as a Physician Assistant, delivering holistic, accessible, and high-quality healthcare to the communities I serve.
