Summary
Helping others has always been my passion. Several years ago, I began working in the emergency department in patient access, an experience that reinforced my desire to serve my community. Through this role, I discovered that supporting patients during vulnerable moments gave me a strong sense of purpose. Although, my position does not allow me to provide direct patient care, it motivated me to go back to school and pursue my dream of becoming a nurse. Lastly, I have worked extremely hard in all my classes to gain knowledge and skills that would further help me in my nursing school journey.
