About
I experienced a radical transformation throughout my teen years that has launched me into a love for learning and a perspective of opportunity. I enjoy figure skating in my free time as well as my ongoing research project on the neuroscience of child development. I look forward to studying pediatric nursing to help children and their families feel seen, heard, and valued. Every moment, every breath, every conversation is a blessing and an opportunity to impact the lives of others.
