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.
