She received her BS in Biological Sciences at John Carroll University and Lake Erie College in Ohio. After graduating from the Cleveland Clinic/LEC Postgraduate PA program where she received her certification in one of the first PA programs, she went on to a varied career. Her first position out of school was in college medicine. While still in her home state of Ohio, she worked at Cleveland State University and Kent State University. Thus began her life- long love of college medicine. Ready to leave Ohio, Sandra joined the Indian Health Service and worked on the Seminole Indian Reservation in Florida. After leaving Florida, she joined the National Health Service Corps and served an underserved population in Hartford at Community Health Services for several years. Finally she returned to college medicine when she accepted the position at Wesleyan. She kept her hand in community medicine by working at Planned Parenthood per diem while working at Wesleyan. Of all her positions, she feels her job at Wesleyan is the best. She loves working with Wesleyan students because of their proactivity. Two of her nieces and other family members are Wesleyan graduates. When she first arrived at Wesleyan she lived on campus. Her most recent plan is to sell her home in the burbs and return to the metropolis of Middletown and the Wesleyan campus where it really is all happening. Kip, her best friend, who happens to be a dog, agrees, Wes is the best.

Student Health Advisory Committee
Read More
The Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC) is a collaborative partnership between staff members and students dedicated to actively seeking out and problem solving underrepresented or dynamic health needs present in the Wesleyan student community, as well as raising awareness about and improving existing services.
SHAC meetings are spaces of resource sharing, idea generation, and potential inter-group coalition building where student and directors of Health Offices (Health Center, CAPS, WesWell and SHAPE) meet and discuss needs, project ideas, and dreams for what better health services at Wesleyan look like. SHAC aims to generate initiatives to transform ideas into meaningful and necessary change.
Please email shac@wesleyan.edu if you have questions.
