I am a nursing student at Grand Valley State University, set to begin clinicals in the fall as a junior. Over the past year, I’ve worked as a caregiver at StoryPoint in Rockford, gaining hands-on experience supporting residents with a range of health conditions. This role has strengthened my ability to adapt care approaches and build meaningful relationships. I’m driven by a desire to help others, through both small acts of care and more complex support, and strive to leave a lasting, positive impact in every interaction. As I advance my education, I’m eager to gain more direct experience in the healthcare field.
