Julia Hinckley

Julia Hinckley, is a freshman of the Commonwealth Honors College at UMass Amherst. She is from Norton MA. Julia is majoring in kinesiology and is on track toward becoming a physician’s assistant. During her first semester at UMASS, she joined the Public Health Club to support her studies further. During her high school career, she interned at a physical therapy practice and also had the unique experience of shadowing an orthopedic physician assistant in the operating room of New England Baptist Hospital and in the office during patient visits. She says this experience solidified her commitment to a future in public health.

It is with sincere gratitude that I accept the Esther Wallace scholarship toward my studies at UMass Amherst. This scholarship will help to alleviate some of my financial responsibilities and allow me to put my efforts toward my studies on a path to becoming a physician assistant. This scholarship will ultimately support my goals, allowing me to be of service to others in the medical field. Thank you very much for this generous gift.
