Megan Wassom

My name is Megan Wassom; I worked at MercyOne North Iowa in Mason City for five years as a surgical technologist, but I am originally from Royal, IA. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, IA in 2020, where I majored in biomedical science. I additionally graduated with a Master of Physician Assistant Studies from St. Ambrose University in Davenport, IA in 2023 and work as a general surgery PA in Mason City, IA. I spend spare time creating art, participating in CrossFit, reading, and volunteering when I can. My parents are Dana Wassom and Robert and Sarah Wassom, and my siblings are Garret Wassom and Abigail Wassom. The basis of my life and work is my faith in God, Who has given me passion and ability for art and medicine. The themes of my art are most often driven by humanity: people and the world they make around me provide me with inspiration. Whether a stranger I meet, a teacher I once had, or a close family member, I embrace them as reasons to create. I enjoy combining both adorations for medicine and art: the way humans move, act, learn, and love teaches me so much about the beauty of humanity and drives me to reflect it in my work.

Megan is based out of Cerro Gordo County.
