About

Going through Yavapai College's nursing program has been such an honor. I completed my second semester with straight A's and a GPA of 3.77. I have wanted to be a nurse from my childhood and I am grateful for the opportunity and dedicated to be the best student I can be. I am currently married to a wonderful man, Eric, with a beautiful one year old son, Elijah. My son is my joy and pride and by completing the nursing program and continuing my education from there, to a Nurse Practitioner, I am setting an example for him to follow. I cannot wait to work as a nurse and help others.
