The Happy PA Academy

Become a Happy PA Millionaire - without burnout.

Unlock Free Access


If we haven’t met before – hi, my name’s Sam 👋

I failed my internal medicine EOR exam.

I failed my ED rotation.

I failed my PANCE.

I delayed the start of my PA job by 3 months.




You can say I have a PhD in Failure

Despite my failures, here’s what I’ve accomplished within 9 years as a PA:

  • Paid off $150k student loan debt in 4 years
  • Amassed a million dollar net worth in my early 30s
  • Quit my full time PA job (after 9 years practicing)
  • Moved my family to Thailand (to live 5 mins from the beach)
  • Became a full-time digital nomad creator entrepreneur
  • Became financially independent

Start Your Journey at No Cost

I accomplished in 10 years what most people take 45 years to do.

Here’s my secret:

I started my journey to become a PA Millionaire -
from day 1 - as a new grad PA.

But here’s what I didn’t do:

  • I didn’t pick up extra shifts just to pay off loans faster.
  • I didn’t take on a per-diem job to build more skills.
  • I didn’t accept low-paying offers.
  • I didn’t take on the work of 10 people myself.
  • I didn’t let others dictate my career.

Instead, here’s what I did:

  • I mastered storytelling - which landed me 12 job offers.
  • I negotiated $20k sign-on bonuses, a 6-week honeymoon, and $25k relocation packages—yes, as a new grad PA.
  • I hired the smartest and kindest supervising physicians to mentor me.
  • I built a badass team to support my growth as a confident PA.
  • I created systems and workflows that bought back my time.

So instead of being overworked and underpaid like most PAs…

I made it my mission to be
overpaid + underworked

I trained my brain to handle long days + tough patients differently.

I redefined my PA career - through a lens of a Millionaire.

Because of this, I stayed in the Honeymoon Phase of my career for 7 years… without burnout.

Because I was a Happy PA, I didn’t:

  • Take work home with me.
  • Suffer from pre-shift anxiety.
  • Burden myself with things outside my control (corporate bureaucracy, patient complaints)

This freed up my mental space to do more with my life:

  • I traveled internationally twice a year (and met my husband in a hostel in Colombia)
  • I paid for a $30k wedding + 6-week honeymoon while paying down $150k student loan debt.
  • I studied personal finance (and started my investing journey!)
  • I bought two investment properties (that pays for my lifestyle right now!).
  • I invested in cryptocurrency.
  • I sharpened my non-career skills: cooking, exercising, living alone, momming.

All because I set my career up to run on autopilot, giving me the mental capacity to do more with my life.

I was able to gain the confidence to ask for a 20K raise as well as an additional week of PTO and I couldn’t be happier. You’ll get a return on your investment tenfold

Why do so many PAs hate their jobs?



One word – BURNOUT.

Our healthcare system is a Burnout Factory.

You’re expected to do everything, all the time — so you do.

PA school didn’t teach you how to:

  • Build your confidence as a PA
  • Land your dream job
  • Change the terms/ conditions of your contract
  • Negotiate $20k raises
  • Pay off your student loans
  • Create systems to streamline your workflow
  • Protect yourself from lawsuits
  • Set clear, healthy boundaries

Because you weren’t taught any of this, you end up becoming a “YES” PA.

  • Yes, I’ll work long hours
  • Yes, I’ll pick extra shifts
  • Yes, I’ll squeeze more patients into my schedule
  • Yes, I’ll chart/ review labs/ complete tasks at home
  • Yes, I’ll do the work of 4 people myself
  • Yes, I’ll accept 3% raises yearly

But now… It’s time to change that.

Leave Burnout Behind - Start for Free

So how do you become a Happy, PA Millionaire- without having to pick up more shifts and working harder?

You raise your standards.

When you raise your standards, you raise your income.

When you raise your income, you raise your opporunties.

When you raise your opportunities, you raise your quality of your life.

That’s the secret.

And that’s what you’ll learn in The Happy PA Academy.

The Happy PA Academy has condensed 12 years - and thousands of hours of PA experience -
into an immersive, interactive and self-paced course.


I’ll teach you everything I know about how to be a become a Happy, Confident PA.

A PA that sets the standard - not a PA that follows the standard.

Sarah S. PA
I was able to secure a $10,000 sign-on bonus, an additional 5 days of PTO, and have restrictive clauses removed from my contract. I would take her program 1000 times over again. Sam's course changed my perspective on job search and negotiation and how I set up my PA career.
Allison 2nd Year PA Student
I must say that HPA is 100% worth it for what you get in return. After joining and working with Sam I feel like I have an upperhand compared to any other applicant I'm going up against even if they are way more qualified than I am. I'm prepared to confidently walk into an interview, market myself, and advocate for a work life balance and a competitive salary with benefits that I didn't even know existed before this.
Taylor W. OB/Gyn PA
I ended up getting the job I wanted with a $12,000 higher salary. I also got malpractice insurance paid for by my employer, which is huge. Having HPA motivating me to see my worth and what I can bring to the table, even as a new grad, really helped to portray myself well in my interview. I would definitely recommend HPA to all PAs, especially new grads.
