I am a BSN student at the University of Scranton with a 4.0 GPA and Dean's List recognition, building toward my goal of becoming a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I feel called to nursing, and I have recorded numerous observation hours to learn about the field and my future in it. I look forward to contributing precision, evidence-based practice, and compassion during important moments in patients’ lives. As my high school's salutatorian, I developed the discipline and drive that continue to define my academic career. Outside the classroom, I enjoy leading pet visits at a nursing home near my university and serving on my home church's environment and arts committee. I have also competed in tennis for 14 years, including serving as team captain in high school. Experience in this sport continues to teach me leadership, resilience, and how to perform under pressure, even as a college athlete. I am driven by purpose, guided by excellence, and committed to a career that makes a meaningful difference in the OR and beyond.
