About

My full name is Mary Hunter Ort, but I have always gone by Hunter. I grew up in the small, rural town of New Hill, NC, but now I live in Durham. I am in my first semester of nursing school at UNC-Chapel Hill. My interests right now are in pediatrics or labor room/delivery, but I am very open to experiences and opportunities in other areas of nursing. I am a CNA I with some pediatric home care experience. I'm hoping to get involved in nursing organizations for more leadership and volunteer opportunities.
