About
I was born in Fort Myers, Florida, where I lived until 2019. From a young age, I was inspired to pursue a career in nursing, following the legacy of my mother and grandmother. In 2019, I relocated to Greenville, South Carolina, embracing the transition from beach life to mountain life, and have since developed a deep appreciation for my new home.
Currently, I am preparing to start nursing school this October, a significant milestone in my lifelong ambition to provide compassionate healthcare. As a dedicated and hardworking individual, I have balanced multiple jobs to support my son, who is now beginning his college journey. My professional journey is underscored by my commitment to excellence, empathy, and resilience.
In addition to my career aspirations, I am a self-proclaimed foodie with a love for exploring diverse culinary experiences. I enjoy hiking to waterfalls and taking road trips to nearby cities, which have enriched my life in Greenville and fueled my passion for continuous learning and adventure.
