Bio

Hello! My name is Gracie Giesting and I am an incoming junior at the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida. I attended Nova Southeastern University for my Freshman year, where I ran Division II cross country and track. I am a pediatric phlebotomist pursuing a Bachelor's in Health Science. Because healthcare is my passion, my ultimate goal is to become a registered nurse and eventually a nurse practitioner with a focus on pediatric oncology. In my free time, I love to run, bake, learn, travel, do crafts, and drink coffee.
