My name is Dean Anthony Telada, and I am a nursing student at the Arizona College of Nursing – Las Vegas campus with an interest in critical care nursing. I stay actively involved in leadership and service opportunities within my program and the nursing community. I currently serve as Treasurer of the Student Nurses Association and Communications Director for the Nevada Nursing Students' Association. I also serve as a Peer Mentor and Student Ambassador for the Social Scrub Squad, where I enjoy supporting students and helping build campus connection. Outside of school, I work as a singer and gondolier at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, where I have developed strong communication skills and an appreciation for connecting with people from many different backgrounds. Balancing work, academics, and service has strengthened my discipline, resilience, and commitment to compassionate care.
