Bio

Pre-nursing student applying for nursing programs to further myself academically and professionally, so I may learn multiple disciplines. My goal is to obtain my DNP and change the world of nursing not just for its current providers, but for those heading into the field and for all those who currently work in the healthcare industry. Additionally, with my DNP I want to help under privileged communities where healthcare is needed most of all.
