BSN, MN, and MN Pathway at Emory University School of Nursing

She/her/hers

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!

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.

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.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

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