FinalistBio
As a future nurse, I am passionate about helping others and making a positive impact in people's lives. My interest in healthcare started from personal experience—after losing my mom to cancer and being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, I saw how much of an impact compassionate care can have. These challenges have shaped me into someone who’s strong, thoughtful, and determined. I’ve learned how important it is to have someone by your side who listens, who advocates for you, and who genuinely cares. I believe that strong communication and empathy are key to providing quality care. I am dedicated to learning and growing in this field. Nursing allows me to combine my desires to support others with my interest in healthcare, and I'm excited to pursue a career where I can make a difference everyday. In my free time, I enjoy reading, journaling, and writing, which help me stay grounded and creative. Every opportunity to further my education is something I don’t take for granted, and I’m so grateful for any support that helps me get closer to my goals.
