About

I am currently a freshman at the University of Alabama studying nursing. I hope to become a nurse who works with mothers and babies, and I am especially interested in helping families during important moments in their lives. I am passionate about caring for others, making a positive impact, and serving my community. Through my education, I hope to gain the knowledge and experience I need to make a difference in the lives of others and build a career doing something I truly love.

Goals and interests

Career goal

My career goal is to become a nurse who works with mothers and babies. I am especially interested in maternal and infant care because I want to support families during some of the most important moments of their lives. I hope to make a positive difference through compassionate care and build a career that allows me to help others every day.

Graduate school interests

I am interested in continuing my education after earning my nursing degree. I would like to explore advanced nursing programs that focus on maternal, newborn, or pediatric care so I can expand my knowledge and provide the best possible care for my future patients.

Outside the classroom

Outside the classroom, I enjoy spending time with friends, being involved in extracurriculars, and serving my community. I was a varsity cheerleader and senior captain in high school, where I developed leadership, teamwork, and communication skills. I have also volunteered with my church and several community organizations. I love encouraging others, building meaningful relationships, and finding ways to make a positive impact on the people around me.
