What has been the highlight of nursing school so far?

The highlight of nursing school so far has been seeing years of hard work pay off. It has been my dream to become a nurse since 12 years old, a decade of my life. Also, since I was younger, I have dreamed of doing international service and in March 2025 I was able to study abroad in the Bahamas and service the locals through healthcare. I am achieving all of my aspirations, it really has been life-changing.

I chose Emory because...

Being an Emory SON alumna to me means change. Change in the trajectory of my family’s future. I'm a first generation graduate, soon to be twice. I will also be the first nurse in my immediate family. I’m doing the work to become educated on things like healthcare and nursing so I can pass this knowledge to my family and improve our lives. This is more than just for me, this is for us.

Before nursing school, I was...

Before nursing school, I was a 2023 graduate of Vanderbilt University. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Public Health and Sociology. I have also been a CNA since I was 18 years old and still in high school; so, the geriatric population and CNAs have a very special place in my heart and nursing journey!
