Before nursing school, I was...

working as a CNA at a nursing home and as a perioperative tech in the OR at UAB Hospital. I graduated from my undergrad in May of 2020 right when the pandemic began. I had to move back home and take a year off.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

going hiking, trying new food, shopping at Kroger, hanging out in Woodruff libraries, and exploring the city.

What has been the highlight of nursing school so far?

The resources that have been provided and the relationships that I have made. In an accelerated program, you sometimes may feel imposter syndrome and overwhelm, but it is great to know that everyone in your cohort is on the same journey as you and that you all are in it together.

I chose Emory because...

Emory went above and beyond to assist me in finalizing all of my accommodations. The nursing school staff were helpful in providing me with resources for finding transportation, where to live, and how to finance what I was going to need. I believe that I relate to the school of nursing core values. It is great to go to one of the top nursing schools in the country!
