Hello everyone, my name is Emaria Banks, but I am known by my loving family, strong community, friends, and teachers as a reliable, caring, and hardworking individual with leadership skills and a deep passion for healing. My mom often says I have "Healing Hands," meaning I’ve always tried to fix things, even when others thought it couldn’t be fixed. From a young age, I knew I wanted to become a nurse, inspired by how my pediatrician cured me of a serious illness. That experience sparked my drive to pursue nursing and help families in need, just as my pediatrician did for mine.Alongside my dedication to healthcare, I have always loved art, which has offered me a creative outlet and a way to express my emotions. I believe art and healing go hand in hand. Both require compassion and creativity to make a transformative impact. As I move toward becoming a nurse, I see the connection between these two passions and how they can help those I care for.
