Summary

As a nursing student preparing to graduate in May 2025, I’m driven by a passion for delivering compassionate, high-quality, patient-centered care. Through my clinical rotations in medical-surgical, critical care, and pediatrics, along with my two years as an extern, I’ve developed strong hands-on skills and a deep commitment to evidence-based practice. I am eager to join a hospital team that values collaboration and continuous learning, where I can grow as a nurse, contribute to improving patient outcomes, and make a positive impact every day.
