About

My name is Megan Yarbrough, I was born April 5, 1996 in Willingboro, New Jersey. Even though I was born up North I've lived in the South my whole life. My family has moved between Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi which is where I spent majority of my life. I went to school at Center Hill High School in Olive Branch, Mississippi and graduated in 2014. I left for college that fall with a soccer scholarship to East Central Community College. Soon I will be graduating with my Associate's in Science and I could not be more excited. I cannot wait to pursue my career in nursing by continuing my education at Mississippi University for Women.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I am graduating from East Central Community College in 2016 with an Associate's in Science and plan to attend Mississippi University for Women Fall of 2016. I am finishing my prerequisites for Nursing School there and the following year I plan to apply and become enrolled in their Nursing Program getting my Bachelor's in Nursing. I also plan to continue studying in Foreign Languages to minor in Spanish while attending MUW.

Graduate school interests

I am interested in receiving my Master's and specializing in Cardiology.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy playing sports and staying active. I have played soccer all of my life and could never grow of it. I love spending time with family and friends because I cherish every moment I have with them. I love to cook, not very good, but as long as I can read recipes I believe I will not burn any houses down anytime soon. I love animals; I've helped train horses and dogs and I wish I could rescue every animal I see! I enjoy helping and meeting new people, it makes my day when I can put a name to a new face!
