Bio

I am a 43-year-old non-traditional student, first-generation learner, entrepreneur, and creative building a future at the intersection of healthcare, wellness, and service. My path has not been linear, but it has made me more disciplined, resourceful, and intentional. I returned to school because I wanted more than survival, I wanted purpose, structure, and the ability to create meaningful impact. I am currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Health Services Administration with the long-term goal of becoming a Certified Anesthesiologist Assistant and eventually owning a medical wellness clinic. I want to help build healthcare spaces that combine clinical care, preventative health, patient education, and holistic wellness, especially for underserved communities that often face barriers to access and trust. Outside of school, I am an entrepreneur, recording artist, and founder of my own entertainment brand. Creativity has taught me leadership. Entrepreneurship has taught me resilience. Healthcare has given my ambition direction. I am not pursuing this degree just to change my own life. I am building a legacy of access, advocacy, and transformation. My goal is to become the kind of professional who helps people feel informed, supported, and seen when they need care the most.
