About
Our value is measured in our GPA. Despite my hold on making money now and a life for my family. Undeterred, working I managed to maintain a 3.5 GPA. I am not that happy with that GPA; I would rather it be a 3.7 for my satisfaction. Regardless I still made the Dean’s list for the entire school year of Westfield and that was the accomplishment I was proud of. As well as the honors list. I had once Been told by my high school teacher Ms. Blanchette that I would never make it to the honor society. It feels great to be here.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I Currently work in the emergency room, where I have been for four years. I really love the constant change in pace, and immediate fixing of critical patients. There's never enough knowledge in that environment and it is really a team. I have been in healthcare for 10 years now with my CNA. My big goal is medical school.
- Graduate school interests
I hope to go straight to medical school without having to obtain a master's degree first. I am driven and know that I can do it, mentally I have not even considered having to get a masters first because I know what I want. I hope to go to a grad school that is not overly priced, but truly values their students and the professors. Success rate is of course important but as is diversity to me.
- Outside the classroom
Hiking, swimming, going to the gym, being outdoors, cooking and trying new things are all things I love to do, especially when I can include my dog in on it.
