Olivia Parker | Women’s Center of Winchester, VA

Olivia Parker, PA-C

Physician Assistant

Originally from North Carolina, she relocated to Winchester in 2023 to attend Shenandoah University's Physician Assistant program. She knew from an early age that she wanted to become a physician assistant and was inspired by a dedicated nurse who taught her health science courses in high school. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology with a minor in Psychology from Meredith College.
During her undergraduate studies, she conducted research in HIV treatments using plant compounds under the mentorship of a cell biology professor and volunteered at free clinics and with children undergoing cancer treatment, further solidifying her interest in pursuing a career in medicine. Prior to PA school, she gained valuable clinical experience working in an Obstetrics and Gynecology practice, where she developed a strong interest in women’s health. She also has additional healthcare experience in endocrinology, pediatrics, and clinical research.

While in PA school, she focused her clinical education on women’s health, completing two additional Obstetrics and Gynecology rotations and an elective in Gynecologic Oncology. She is drawn to women’s health for its unique blend of clinical care, advocacy, and long-term patient relationships, and values the opportunity to provide comprehensive care to women at every stage of life.

Personal Interests

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring new coffee shops, watching Carolina Hurricanes games, reading novels, and trying new recipes from her cookbook collection. She also enjoys hiking local trails with her golden retriever, Willow, and her Bernedoodle, Daisy.
