About

Hi,
my name is Katlyn, my goal & dream in life is to become a nurse in the NICU with my support system & my sisters of Delta Zeta I hope to become all that a nurse can be and more. I am inspired everyday to try my hardest by my 4 younger siblings. One of my little sisters was rushed to the NICU the day that she was born in 2005, and with the help of an amazing nurse & an incredible team of doctors my little sister was released 4 months later. Today she is healthy and almost ten years old. That is my strive, my motivation & my push of hope that I can help other families & children in need.
