We were both in the 2019 graduating PA class. We immediately gravitated towards each other as we navigated our way through graduate school. Whether we depended on each other as a study partner, lunch date, or comedic relief from our student lives, we were always there for each other. It was such a special experience going through the PA program with my best friend and partner. I got so much comfort in having someone so close to me understand exactly the goals I was working towards.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating PA school, we moved into our first NYC apartment together and started our PA careers. During our first year of work, the world was hit with the COVID pandemic, and all PAs were called into action. During these trying times, we were able to build on our strong foundation as practitioners and partners. Ray also made my childhood dreams come true by adding our fun and loving French bulldog, Stella, to our family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"4150\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bridgeport.edu\/news\/pai-love-stories\/natasha-ray\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bridgeport.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pic.jpg?fit=1067%2C1600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1067,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Hazel Eyes Photography&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;\\u00a9 2025 Hazel Eyes Photography, all rights reserved.&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;NATASHA + RAY&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"NATASHA + RAY\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bridgeport.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pic.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bridgeport.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pic.jpg?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bridgeport.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pic.jpg?resize=337%2C506&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"337\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bridgeport.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pic.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bridgeport.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pic.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bridgeport.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/pic.jpg?w=1067&amp;ssl=1 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn 2021, we got engaged in Central Park.
