About (request update)

I am a motivated pre-nursing student at North Carolina Central University pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) with a passion for providing compassionate and quality patient care. As a first-generation college student, I am dedicated to building a career in healthcare and creating a positive impact in my community. I have completed Nurse Aide I training with 124 hours of supervised clinical experience, where I gained hands-on experience assisting patients with activities of daily living, measuring vital signs, supporting mobility, and learning the importance of patient safety and dignity.

My previous work experiences in customer service have strengthened my communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. While working as a Beauty Advisor at Ulta Beauty and a Cashier-Sales

Claim To Fame:

My claim to fame in college is being a first-generation college student who is building my legacy through leadership, service, and my passion for healthcare. As a pre-nursing student, I am committed to making an impact in my community while representing women of color in the medical field. Through my involvement in organizations like the National Society of Black Women in Medicine and the Student Nursing Association, I am creating connections, growing as a leader, and working toward my goal of becoming a mother baby - postpartum nurse

Most Memorable Moment:

Some of my most memorable college moments have been the opportunities I�ve had to step outside of my comfort zone and become more involved on campus. From joining organizations that align with my career goals to attending events that allowed me to connect with other students, I have been able to build friendships, create meaningful memories, and grow as an individual. One of my favorite parts of my college experience has been being surrounded by a community that supports my goals and reminds me that I belong here.
