Bio

Hey there! I'm Yaselle, a passionate and driven individual on a mission to make a meaningful impact in healthcare. 🌟 I've always believed that compassion is a powerful force for change, and that's why I'm excited to pursue a nursing degree. Through my journey, I aim to combine my love for helping others with my dedication to learning and growth. My inspiration for entering nursing comes from personal experiences that have shaped my perspective. That experience made me realize caring for newborns and their families interested me in an RN career. I firmly believe that every smile, every kind word, and every moment of genuine connection has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. Whether providing comfort to a patient, offering support to a fellow student, or contributing to a healthier community, I'm committed to being a positive force for change. When I'm not immersed in my studies, you'll often find me at the park with my son or whipping up a new herbal remedy. I firmly believe in maintaining a well-rounded life, as it keeps me grounded and energized to pursue my dreams. I'm beyond grateful to be part of the Bold.org community, where I hope to connect with like-minded individuals who share my passion for making a difference. Together, we can create a brighter and healthier future for all. Thank you for joining me on this exciting journey, and I can't wait to see where our paths lead. Let's make our mark, one act of kindness at a time! 🌻
