Leadership starts before graduation.

The Student Affairs Committee exists to ensure PA students across Florida have a voice within FAPA while fostering connection, leadership, advocacy, and professional growth throughout their educational journey. Whether it’s promoting legislative involvement, or strengthening communication between students and FAPA, these leaders help shape the future of our profession.

Swipe through to meet Sofia and Makayla, learn why they chose to serve, and help us congratulate them as they begin this exciting chapter. 👏🏽



Every leader has a reason they said yes.

For Sofia, it was creating a space where PA students feel welcomed, connected, and empowered to get involved.

Because today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders—and the future of our profession is stronger when we grow it together. 🧡

➡️ Keep swiping to meet Makayla.

The future of our profession is shaped by students who choose to lead.

Makayla is excited to help create meaningful opportunities for PA students to connect, get involved, and grow throughout their PA school journey.

We’re thrilled to have her serving as one of FAPA’s Student Affairs Committee Co-Chairs and can’t wait to see what this year brings.

Congratulations ladies! 🎉
