Thomas Gazely
In addition to my interest and efforts as an aspiring nurse leader, I hold memberships with the American Psychiatric Nurses Association and the Association of Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurses, which have helped me integrate more fully with experts in the field. I also plan to attend the 2024 Neuroscience Education Institute Congress in Colorado Springs to learn cutting-edge clinical skills from the world’s best field-specific faculty. Despite my busy schedule, I continue to love my job in the Inpatient Mental Health unit at GSRMC. I enjoy the work and constantly see connections between what I’m learning at WSU. The team at SHS is so supportive of me and my NP journey. Additionally, I have also continued to dedicate time to active recovery from alcohol and drug addiction and freely volunteer my time to others struggling to get sober or stay sober. Without sobriety, I would not be thriving.
Gabriel Toea
My name is Gabriel Toea. I am a graduating senior from the University of Oregon and will be attending the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine this upcoming August. I am very excited to begin my career in medicine and have worked through college to explore this career path. Initially, my interest in medicine began after the passing of my great grandmother, which was particularly difficult because I wasn’t able to travel back to Romania to see her before she passed. Between the ages of 1 and 7 years old, I lived in Romania with my grandparents and great grandmother, who I was close to growing up. After that, I returned to the USA, and spent my high school years in Corvallis. As a future physician, I want to continue working with a diverse patient population and give back to my community and country which has given me and my family so much opportunity. After my medical training, my goal is to return to my home in Corvallis and serve my community.

I have aspired to become a physician for as long as I can remember. This goal is fueled by my deep appreciation for the transformative role healthcare providers play in society. From an early age, I’ve been driven by the desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and medicine offers an unparalleled opportunity to do just that. Additionally, I am drawn to a career path that offers and expects continuous learning, allowing me to be a lifelong student. I am particularly interested in emergency medicine and trauma surgery, and I intend to pursue one of these specialties when applying for residency. I am drawn to these fields because of the ability to provide an immediate and tangible benefit to patients in crisis, making a meaningful impact when every minute counts. While shadowing physicians in these specialties, I have witnessed firsthand the critical role that timely intervention plays in saving lives and alleviating suffering, further fueling my passion for these fields. Furthermore, I am drawn to the unpredictable and high-pressure environments characteristic of emergency medicine and trauma surgery, as they align with my natural inclination towards quick thinking and adaptability.
