In the eleventh episode of Vitals and Voices, we sit down with Clareth — a first-generation college graduate, immigrant from Mexico, EMT, and future Physician Assistant. Born and raised in Mexico and now living in Texas, Clareth shares her inspiring journey from interpreting for her parents to pursuing a career in medicine.

A UT Dallas graduate with a degree in neuroscience and a minor in Spanish, she’s worked across primary care, plastic surgery, and crisis response — all while advocating for cultural representation in healthcare. Clareth opens up about her passion for serving underserved communities, her upcoming start in PA school, and her work as one of only 20 delegates nationwide in the AAPA House of Delegates.

She also mentors aspiring PA students for free, offering mock interviews and guidance to make the path to medicine more accessible. Tune in as Clareth shares her story of resilience, representation, and redefining what it means to serve with heart and purpose.
