Before nursing school, I was...

Working full-time as a phlebotomist at a level 1 trauma center!

What has been the highlight of nursing school so far?

I have really been enjoying skills lab. We are not in the hospital yet, but I feel that skills lab is adequately preparing me to confidently perform those tasks in my hospital clinicals.

I chose Emory because...

Emory chose me! I knew Emory was the school that best fit my personal, academic, and professional needs for my future nursing career. I truly feel that I am getting an unforgettable and once in a lifetime educational experience here at Emory. The professors, the unique clinical sites, the lifelong friendships and relationships I am building during my time here are all worth it.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Go to the Dekalb Farmers Market for fresh produce, try out new restaurants, go shopping with friends and find new fun ways to exercise.

I'm passionate about...

Community Engagement Academic Excellence Nursing Critical Care nursing Cardiac Nursing Military service Exercise & Health Mentoring/Mentorship
