About
I am currently a nursing student at university of Illinois at Chicago. I was born and raised in Africa. My choice of career is not by accident. I chose to go to nursing school because I like to take care of people. I had the privilege to take care of so many people while I was in Africa and also I have taken care of some senior citizens here in the U.S. I always strive to be the best in whatever I do. I have experience not only in health field but also in manufacturing sector. I started my education here in the U.S. at one the city colleges of Chicago, precisely at Harry S. Truman college where I graduated with Associate in Science with honors. I later transferred to university of Illinois at Chicago nursing school after completing my Associate degree. I aspire to go to medical school after I graduate with bachelor in nursing (BSN). I love to help people. I am hard working person and can easily get along with anybody. I love to dream big and always ready to work hard in order make my dream come true. I love to teach. In fact, it has been recommended by many people that I be a teacher but my dream is to be a doctor. I believe in hard work and always try to bring innovation, development and growth in whatever organization I have found myself.
