What has been the highlight of nursing school so far?

Clinical!!!! We started off late because of COVID-19, but when I finally got into the hospital I surprised myself with how much I had learned. It was an amazing feeling! As I have progressed through the program, clinical has only become more helpful and I feel like I have grown in my skills.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Going to the Dekalb County Farmer's Market! They have amazing fresh food. I could spend my entire day there honestly.

Before nursing school, I was...

Studying Biological Sciences and working as an Independent Living Assistant for those with intellectual disabilities at Clemson University in South Carolina. I really enjoyed my previous field of work and hope to carry those skills into nursing to help individuals with disabilities learn how to take charge of their health.

I chose Emory because...

I would say my main reason for choosing Emory was how welcome I felt at admitted students day. No other college or university had made me feel accepted and heard from the beginning. Emory has an amazing reputation and when I started classes I immediately realized why. The professors here are like none other. They genuinely care about their students and they are masters in their field. I am very grateful to be a student in this community.
