Summary
Throughout schooling, work, and volunteering, I have been privileged to serve underserved populations with significant gaps in their accessibility to care and tools for sustainability of their health. I am motivated to work with excellence and integrity to take care of my patients and contribute to a positive culture that harnesses growth and advocacy. My passion for nursing comes from my dream to have a career where I get to serve people directly. I could not see myself doing anything else, and I am eager to begin!
