Faith Gammouh,
born in Southeast Michigan, is the
youngest of four children and has
always excelled from a young age.
She began to speak both Arabic and
English at age 2. She later learned
how to write and read Arabic in high
school and fine tuned this skill
while in college. Faith was very
active in her community, in school
athletics, academics, and musically
(taught herself to play piano at age
10!). She directed her focus towards
a career in the health care field
after tearing her meniscus while
being Team Captain of her volleyball
team. Faith was amazed at the
numerous PAs who played an integral
role in her surgical management and
healing process. From that point
forward, she became determined to
become a PA.
In December 2018, 3.5 short years
after beginning college, Faith
received her Bachelor of Science,
Summa Cum Laude from Wayne State
University with a Co-Major in
University Honors and Departmental
Psychology Honors. Given her love
for the city of Detroit, she took
her chances in applying to her only
school of interest. Shortly after,
she began her PA journey at her Alma
Mater, in May of 2019.
Faith is currently acting as Class
President for the Class of 2021. She
continues to be involved in her
community through leading workshops
to educate the future generation on
health and fitness and volunteering
at many Detroit based organizations.
She enjoys playing sports leisurely,
listening and creating music, and
spending time with her family and
friends. She is very grateful to
have been chosen for this
scholarship and plans to carry on
Lara's legacy while aspiring to be
the best PA-C she can be. |
