Short Skills & Experiences

I am eternally grateful to have been blessed with the opportunity to practice as a Licensed Nursing Assistant at 17 years old before even graduating high school. Being able to establish myself in the field of medicine prior to beginning my postsecondary education, I have been introduced to the lifestyle I aspire to live for the duration of my professional career. Working in a long term care skilled nursing facility has offered me an outlet for developing the foundation I will continue to build from for my foreseeable future in nursing.

As a former athlete, exercise has always been a priority of mine. Although I no longer play sports, I will forever pursue my health for a multitude of reasons. Strength training is a daily habit of mine that ensures that I am capable of dedication, hard work and commitment. Far beyond the physicality of exercise, I am a mental health advocate and believe in the benefits of moving my body as an escape from reality. I am level headed, responsible, and passionate about everything I do. The skills I exemplify through my fitness journey shine light for the path I am entering in nursing.

Nursing is not for the weak. It is impossible to limit a nurse’s qualities to one of greater importance than the others. When describing nurses, many often suggest their compassion and kindness as admirable contributions to the success of the profession, yet resilience, grit, and gratitude make for exceptional nurses. This photo shows the willingness for nurses to put their hearts and souls into the patients they care for. Nursing shouldn’t be one’s entire world, however the profession is indicative of a lifestyle of selflessness. While nurses are made of ordinary people, the commitment they make to spending their lives prioritizing others constitutes to the kind of humans nurses are. The nurses I have had the pleasure of both being treated by and working under have shown me the amount of dedication it takes to be successful in nursing. Being confident enough in oneself to spend your own life pursuing that of others is respectable.
