About
I immigrated to the United States at the age of 13 and attended Olympic Heights Community High School, where I graduated with a 4.1 cumulative GPA. After high school, I began my academic journey at Palm Beach State College, with the ultimate goal of transferring to Nova Southeastern University (NSU) to pursue nursing school. Since the age of 16, I have been dedicated to working and building my professional experience. Currently, I hold two jobs: as a shift leader at Carvel Ice Cream Store and as a nurse assistant and front desk worker at Southwest Medical Group. My role at Southwest Medical Group is particularly rewarding as it provides me with valuable insights and hands-on experience in the nursing field, reinforcing my commitment to a career in healthcare.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I am currently working towards earning my Associate of Arts (AA) degree as the foundation of my academic journey. Upon completion, I plan to attend and graduate from nursing school, where I will gain the skills necessary to begin my career in healthcare. My goal is to work in a hospital setting to acquire hands-on experience and further develop my expertise in patient care. Building on this foundation, I intend to return to school and pursue a career as a Physician Assistant, enabling me to expand my scope of practice and make a greater impact in the medical field.
