I chose Emory because...

Emory's nursing program is one of the top programs in the U.S. I know Emory can allow me to achieve my best potential while maintaining a balance between academic success and personal fulfillment and excitement. Emory also has a beautiful campus and the camaraderie between the students and faculty is one I truly love!

Before nursing school, I was...

A student at Oxford College of Emory University. I always knew I wanted to major in nursing beginning my junior year of high school, but taking the prerequisites at Oxford and eventually matriculating in the nursing program itself has further ignited my passion for helping people! I am still not 100% sure what field of nursing I want to work in, but I know there are lots of opportunities and fields I can explore since nursing is such a diverse profession.

What has been the highlight of nursing school so far?

Meeting my cohort and making new friends! Emory's School of Nursing does an amazing job at creating an incredible atmosphere and relationship among the students, which I really love. I have been able to easily meet new people from different schools, ages, and countries and bond over our passion for nursing and helping people

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

I love restaurant and cafe hopping! The best part about moving to a new city is exploring all the food options there (I'm a huge foodie <3)
