Additional Information
My passion is to become a nurse practitioners or a PA. Since high school I've know that I wanted to be in the health care professional, specifically in pediatric. After graduating college I've strived to find opportunities to gain experience so that one day I can enter the fold of healthcare. I'm currently applying to programs to become a RN and graduate with my BSN. I've started from scratch and hope to grow within a company that can lead me to these goals.
