About

My name is Madisen (Maddy) Petranek, and I am a 20-year-old nursing student at Concordia University, St. Paul, where I am currently enrolled in the accelerated nursing program and maintain a 3.9 GPA. Alongside my studies, I work as both a nanny and a daycare employee, experiences that have strengthened my passion for caring for children. My long-term goal is to become a nurse in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), where I hope to make a meaningful impact supporting infants and their families. I am set to graduate in May 2027, and I am committed to continuing my academic excellence and personal growth as I pursue a career in pediatric and neonatal care.
