WinnerBio
Hi! My name is Ran, and I’m a first-generation immigrant and student at Chabot College. I’m currently working toward my goal of becoming a nurse and plan to transfer to a 4-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing program within the next two years.
Outside of school, I work six days a week as a Behavioral Technician, where I provide behavioral therapy to children with autism. Balancing school and work can be challenging, but my job has taught me a lot about patience, communication, and caring for others. My long-term goal is to become an Army nurse in the future.
