My name is Valeria Barrera and I am studying nursing. I Grew up in Pico Rivera, California which I then moved to Whittier, California. As of right now I am attending Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona and volunteer at St. Joseph's Hospital escorting patients. I have a passion for working with others and helping as much as I can. I chose to study nursing because I want to be able to help save people's lives and make a difference.
