Rylee Everett’s Journey to Serve through Healthcare
June 24, 2025 | 2 min read
For Rylee Everett (’23), becoming a physician assistant isn’t just a career goal—it’s a calling shaped by discipline, compassion, and a Christ-centered perspective. Now in the final stretch of PA school at Gannon University and set to graduate this July, Rylee credits her time at Florida College in the liberal studies program with preparing her to meet the demands of healthcare with both confidence and conviction.
“FC prepared me for this role because I learned good study habits through my classes and time at FC,” she shares.
The habits she developed during late-night study sessions and challenging coursework now sustain her through the intensity of graduate school.
While her classes laid the academic foundation she needed, it was the deeper lessons—about character, perseverance, and purpose—that made the lasting impact. Her professors challenged her not only to excel in the classroom but to approach every responsibility with integrity and intention.
More than anything, Rylee’s faith became central to her understanding of healthcare. She views her future not just as a job, but as a way to serve people with compassion and humility.
Now preparing to step into a profession dedicated to healing, Rylee brings with her the values that have shaped her from the beginning—faith, service, and a desire to make a difference.
