Hello! My name is Sarah Cook and I am a 33-year-old full-time student at Austin Community College, currently completing prerequisites for nursing school. With a background in hospitality, I possess a strong work ethic, adaptability, and a genuine commitment to serving others. My ultimate goal is to become a certified registered nurse anesthetist, a path that was ignited after surviving a head-on collision caused by a drunk driver. The accident left me with extensive injuries and a long road to recovery, but it also introduced me to the everlasting impact of skilled, compassionate medical care. This experience reshaped my perspective and gave me a profound sense of purpose. In the future, I hope to provide accessible healthcare, especially in underserved communities, and I am dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of others through my work.
