Autumn 2023 Featured Alum Toluwani Oluwa-Tofehinti
My favorite thing about being a UW Bothell Husky was the close knit relationships I made. Being in smaller classes with the students in my Biology major made it easier to form bonds that got me through the years.
Toluwani Oluwa-Tofehinti graduated from UW Bothell in Spring 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. You can connect with Toluwani on LinkedIn.
Tell us more about what you’re doing currently.
I am currently working as a phlebotomist at a blood donor center called Bloodworks Northwest where I take donors’ vitals, draw their blood, and perform patient reaction care. While working full time as a phlebotomist, I am applying to physician assistant graduate school programs. My goal is to provide adequate care to underserved communities and people of color as a physician assistant.
What resources did you find most helpful when it came to career or graduate/professional school exploring, preparing, and applying?
When it comes to preparing for graduate school, the most helpful resources I have found are online forums where students discuss what is needed to get into PA school or medical school. They include useful resources and links to make it easy. Amazon is also my best friend. Any study material you may need, you can find there.

If you could go back to your first day at UWB, what advice would you give yourself?
If I could go back to my first day, I would advise myself to take a few deep breathes and go easy on myself. Every other student is just trying to make it like me.
Thank you, Toluwani!
Congrats on all you’ve accomplished so far, and good luck with your PA applications! You got this!!
