Goals and interests

Career goal

I am a first year Nursing student at Saint Xavier University. I plan on getting my bachelors degree in nursing, work as an RN, and return back to school to get my Masters in Nursing due to me wanting to be a Nurse Anesthetist. I have not really thought specifically where I would want to work because I am still early on in the game. I currently am doing internships, programs, and volunteering at UIC hospital for the time being.

Outside the classroom

Besides being a full time nursing student, I was a competitive cheerleader in high school and made the team at my university. I enjoy working out whenever I have free time as well.

Volunteering

  • I volunteer at UIC hospital in which you can volunteer in the office, ER, help transport patients who cannot do so themselves, and other work that needs to be done in the hospital
