Romana Popara
VP of Pre-PA
Major: MCDB
Member 2008-2009

Hello! My name is Romana Popara and I am currently a junior. While I used to be a Biochemistry major, I have recently switched to MCDB and have kept my English Literature major throughout all three years. While trying to figure out what it is I like to do, I have found out a lot about the physician assistant and medical fields. I really enjoy volunteering and have a wide range of experience, from elementary schools to homeless shelters to hospitals. It has been a pleasure finding different ways to help people, through medicine but also through simple understanding and compassion. Outside of academics and volunteering I play tennis and hike, as well as play acoustic and classical guitar.

Paige Bennett
Co-President
Major: IPHY

Hello everyone! My name is Paige and I was born and raised in Colorado. I am currently a sophomore studying IPHY. I love Boulder because I can hike, ski, run, do cartwheels, or play tennis on almost any given day. I also love CU because it offers so many wonderful opportunities for academic and extracurricular involvement.
I am pursuing medicine because I value the unique opportunity health care providers have to not only to treat sick patients, but also to educate them about their wellness in a way that empowers them. I have seen this opportunity in a jail clinic, a pediatric clinic, and a teen sexual health clinic (where I currently work) and I believe the opportunity to enrich people’s lives is true of any specialty as long as the priority is the patient. I am very passionate about working with children and adolescents, so next year I will be doing an internship with the Boulder Youth Body Alliance working with their peer-educators in addition to my work at the Teen Clinic.
If you have any questions about volunteering, getting involved in research, clubs, or other activities on campus, let me know!

Hi Everyone! My name is Abby Weglarz and I am a senior majoring in Integrative Physiology. I will be finishing my degree and graduating in December. In addition to SAPP, I volunteer for SEMS as an EMT-B and for Colorado Friendship, a local non-profit organization that works to distribute food and clothing to those in need. I currently work in the emergency department at North Suburban Medical Center as a scribe. Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family, being outdoors and traveling. I applied to PA school over the summer and I am looking forward to helping others who are interested learn more about the profession as well as prepare for the application process. Please feel free to contact me with any questions!

Greetings, my fellow Pre-Professional enthusiasts! My name is Whitney and I am currently working on a degree in Integrative Physiology and hope to attend Medical School upon completion. Outside of my studies at CU, I am preparing for my journey into medicine by getting involved in research (my last project involved spinal fusion in sheep models at the Veterinary School of Medicine in Ft. Collins. Fascinating stuff!), volunteering, and shadowing physicians (an incredibly exhilarating experience and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who wishes to become a doctor). Besides all that, I like to cook, practice yoga, hike, and spend time with my husband.

My name is Kari and I am am majoring in IPHY trying to receive my 2nd degree. My first degree was in Anthropology but after working with a physical therapist last year I decided to pursue a career in PT. Also, last year I broke my back and had to do several months of physical therapy which strengthened my desire to be PT. I currently volunteer at Boulder Community Hospital.
