Hello! My name is Kitana Ford, and I am pursuing a B.S. in Neuroscience at Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University. Following graduation, I plan to attend ASU's Master of Science in Nursing program. In addition to my academic pursuits, I am actively involved in various extracurriculars. I serve as the newsletter editor for Normal Noise, and I am involved with Hands for Little Hearts, The Forge and the National Organization for Rare Disorders Student Chapter at ASU. I am also a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. Outside of school and extracurriculars, I am a mother to a three-year-old boy named Raiden! As well as a critter mom to a sulcata tortoise named Mikey and a chiweenie named Chancelot. Balancing academics, extracurriculars, and motherhood has its challenges, but I am driven by my passion for learning and my desire to make a positive impact in both my personal and professional endeavors. Your support would not only alleviate the financial burden of my education but also empower me to continue pursuing my dreams. Warm regards, Kitana Ford
