About Joe Foward

I am a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology student at Oregon State University with hands-on experience in clinical care. As an Emergency Medical Technician and National Guard medic, I have developed strong leadership and communication skills.In parallel, I serve as a wildland fire crew boss, leading teams in dynamic, high-stakes conditions where decision-making, accountability, and clear communication are critical.My academic experience includes research in molecular biology and protein biochemistry, where I have worked with cell culture, protein assays, and experimental design to study biological systems at a mechanistic level.I am pursuing a career as a Physician Assistant to combine my medical experience with a deeper understanding of human biology, with the goal of providing effective, patient-centered care.
