Goals and interests

Career goal

My intended job path is to start as a registered nurse, where I can build a solid foundation of clinical skills and experience working with patients. In the next few years, I aim to specialize in critical care nursing or emergency medicine, and further my education through certifications or a nurse practitioner program. Ultimately, I would like to take on a leadership role, such as a nurse manager or clinical coordinator, where I can mentor other nurses and contribute to improving patient care practices

Graduate school interests

My grad school interests lie in pursuing a Master's in Nursing or a Nurse Practitioner program. I am passionate about providing high-quality patient care and want to gain more advanced clinical skills to work independently and take on a larger role in patient treatment plans. Additionally, I want to learn about healthcare policy and management to contribute to improving healthcare systems. Ultimately, I hope to become a nurse practitioner specializing in pediatric care, where I can provide direct care while advocating for better patient outcomes.

Outside the classroom

My Hobbies and Passions

Snowboarding
One of my absolute favorite activities is snowboarding. I love the rush of the wind, the feeling of carving through fresh powder, and the challenge of mastering new tricks. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of hitting the slopes.

Guitar & Singing
Music is a huge part of my life. Playing the guitar and singing bring me so much joy. Whether I’m jamming alone or performing for others, it’s my way of expressing myself and connecting with the world.

Spending Time with Family
No matter how busy life gets, I always make time to spend with my family. These moments are priceless, whether we're enjoying a quiet evening together or embarking on adventures.

Studying Anatomy
I have a deep interest in anatomy and love learning about the human body. It fascinates me how everything works together, and it inspires me to understand the mechanics of movement, especially for activities like snowboarding and hiking.

Hiking
Hiking is a way for me to connect with nature and challenge myself physically. The peacefulness of the outdoors and the beauty of each trail make it an experience I look forward to whenever I can.

Water-Related Activities & the Ocean
Anything related to water excites me. Whether it’s surfing, swimming, or simply being near the ocean, I feel at peace when I’m surrounded by water. The ocean’s vastness and power never fail to awe me.
