Accomplishments

Growing up, I have faced many adversities. I have always persevered through them and tried to find the best in any situation. I think these adversities made me the strong companionate person that I am today.

Why nursing?

I've known from a young age what I wanted to be when I grew up. I have always liked helping people and doing things to make others' lives a little easier. I chose nursing because I want to be the kind of nurse who makes an impact on others in times of need or sickness. I want to be the nurse that makes the hard things not so hard.
