About Pearl D. Akonnor

I am a multi-faceted leader seeking to create impact in every room I\'m in. I am passionate about ensuring that all members of any community feel safe and genuinely supported throughout their life journeys, further catapulting the individuals\' confidence and levels of self-love. I believe the beauty created in any journey is done through connectivity, relatability, and uniqueness. I am an Alumna of the University of Texas at Austin, with a Bachelors of Science in Psychology, alongside a minor in Business and Pre-Health Professions certificate. As an aspiring Physician Associate, I wish to have this impact on all of my future patients as I plan to serve in the fields of either Psychiatry, Women’s Health, or Dermatology.
