My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

to walk with my husband and my dog through the community beltline by our home.

Before nursing school, I was...

well rested...just kidding. I was living back home in Queens, NY working for Weill Cornell Medicine as the team lead for the Managed Care Office's Enrollment and Credentialing Team.

I chose Emory because...

of the nursing school's unyielding efforts in promoting innovation for nursing practices as well as its commitment to diversity and inclusions. This was instrumental in my desire to be a member of the institution's community. The fundamental principles surrounding SON fully supports my goals to align clinical work with implementation of meaningful solutions in problematic areas – as well as fostering community health education and improving patient care experience for the underprivileged.

What has been the highlight of nursing school so far?

The highlight of nursing school has been the exposure to the clinical space and the access to direct patient care.
