Before nursing school, I was...

All over the place! I spent my freshman year of college at Auburn, then transferred to Georgia College and State University for my sophomore year. Then, I took a year off of school to work as a Certified Nursing Assistant in Athens, Georgia. During this time, I finished my final pre-requisite courses online through Geneva College. I moved from Athens to Atlanta this past summer, about a month before nursing school started!

What has been the highlight of nursing school so far?

It sounds silly, but learning about nursing has been great. Emory has taught me so much, and it's crazy to compare what I know now to what I knew when I started this program. I am very excited to keep learning and working toward my license!

I chose Emory because...

The summer after my sophomore year of college, I decided to change my major to nursing. I grew up 30 minutes north of Atlanta and have always heard great things about Emory's nursing school, so it was a no-brainer for me to send in my application! While it was intimidating to send in the application, I am glad that I took the chance because I have had an amazing experience at this school.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Skate with my roommate! She is in nursing school with me, and she has been teaching me how to ride a skateboard over the past few months. It is a great way to move around and get some fresh air after class!
