About

I am an undergraduate attending Louisiana Tech University. My major is nursing . My plan as a student is to be fully dedicated to providing compassionate patient care. My academic goals include earning my Registered Nurse (RN) licensure, completing my bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN), and continuing my education to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). I am passionate about healthcare, leadership, and making a positive impact on patients and their families through skilled and empathetic nursing care.

Goals and interests

Career goal

My intended job path is to become a registered Nurse and gain hands on clinical experience in critical care or intensive care settings. After completing my BSN, I plan to apply to CRNA school to specialize in nurse anesthesia. As a future CRNA, I hope to provide safe, high quality anesthesia care while continuing to grow as a healthcare professional and advocate for patients.

Graduate school interests

I am interested in pursing graduate-level education in nurse anesthesia through a CRNA program. My interests include critical care nursing, advanced pharmacology, patient safety, and anesthesia practice. I hope to attend a rigorous graduate program that will prepare me to become a skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy working and going on walks with my rescue dog.
