years of professional experience
Dedicated full-time student eager to uncover and accept new challenges by implementing my knowledge, skills, and determination. With a broad array of work and volunteer experience, I've honed my ability to communicate and interact with everyone. I am eager to continue learning, grow through hands-on clinical experiences, and begin my career in the nursing field. What draws me most to nursing is the opportunity to care for the whole person physically, emotionally, and mentally.
