What has been the highlight of nursing school so far?

The highlight of nursing school has been discovering how diverse and dynamic the field is, constantly presenting new challenges that push me to grow!

Before nursing school, I was...

Prior to starting my master’s program, I was a pre-nursing major in undergrad, but life took me in a different direction. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Health Administration, but I always kept my focus on nursing. After working as a nursing assistant under the tutelage of a Nurse Practitioner, I applied to Emory when the opportunity arose. If you are looking for a sign to go, this is it! No matter what has held you back or if your plans have changed, you can make it happen! 😄

I chose Emory because...

Emory’s reputation and notability initially drew me in, but what solidified my choice was how well the school’s values resonated with mine. The welcoming community and the support I have received since starting have only strengthened my decision. The faculty bring such a vast range of nursing experience, and it is inspiring to be mentored by individuals who are truly invested in our success.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Explore new places to eat and socialize with friends I have made in the program, while also using my ClassPass membership to take up fun hobbies!
