Class of 2025

Hometown: Atlanta, GA

Major: Microbiology at UGA

Secondary Major: Master of Nursing


I chose Emory because...

Of multiple things! I attended a public high school and a large public college for my undergraduate degree, so I loved that Emory was private and smaller. Also, it is currently ranked #1 in the country for BSN and Master's Degrees in Nursing!

What has been the highlight of nursing school so far?

I have loved getting to know my cohort and exploring Decatur. I am not an Atlanta native, so it has been very fun getting to roam around and try all the restaurants.

Before nursing school, I was...

Working as an MA! I got my undergraduate degree in Microbiology from UGA in May 2022; I knew I wanted to go into healthcare, but was unsure which position I wanted to go into. The Pre-Licensure MN program was an amazing fit for me because I am able to get my RN in about 15 months.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Walk on the Beltline! There are some amazing shops and food; my personal favorite in Ladybird.

I'm passionate about...
