Obtain my Masters of Science in Nursing and Doctor of Nursing Practice in Midwifery to become a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner.

I pledge that every woman in my care will receive quality gynecological & prenatal care without regard to race or socioeconomic status. My passion is to be an agent of change not just in the field of maternal nursing but in the healthcare field at large.
