About Us

The PA Platform was built by PAs, for future PAs. Whether you’re just starting your journey or preparing to hit “submit,” we’re here to help you feel confident, prepared, and supported from your first question to your first acceptance.

Meet Savanna

Savanna Perry, PA-C, launched The PA Platform in 2015 after graduating from Augusta University and beginning her career in dermatology. Her goal? To make the PA school process less confusing and more supportive for every pre-PA student out there. Since then, she’s written three books, built a team of passionate PA coaches, and helped thousands of applicants navigate their journey to acceptance.

 

Whether it’s mock interviews, personal statement advice, or just knowing where to begin—Savanna’s created a platform that meets you where you are and guides you forward with clarity and confidence.
