Summary
I am a driven student currently completing my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology at the University of Maryland, College Park. I am seeking admission into a direct-entry nursing program in hopes of furthering my education and eventually becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I am currently enlisted in the Maryland National Guard and will earn my commission as an officer by May 2024. I hope to bring both my professional and academic experience into a graduate program that will help me achieve my dream of providing the best care to my fellow soldiers.
