Portrait of Marina Hart

HIRED!

Marina Hart

My time as Diversity Chair for the UWL Physician Assistant Student Society helped me learn to lead with confidence and build skills in interprofessional collaboration. My favorite moment in this role was organizing a campus-wide Narcan training that the OT students helped me bring to life, which brought over 80 students and faculty together!
