Life & Career Milestones
My path in life has been direct
1.
I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio.
2.
I started college to pursue social work because I’ve always been passionate about helping people.
3.
I quickly realized that social work wasn’t the best fit for me, so I took some time off from school to live and try and figure out another path related to helping people.
4.
I eventually decided to give nursing a try and completed my first nursing degree at Cuyahoga Community College.
5.
After graduating, I went on to earn my bachelor’s degree in nursing from Loyola University New Orleans.
6.
I’ve since built my career as a registered nurse.
7.
I will soon graduate with my master’s degree and hope to move into leadership so that I can help the next generation of nurses.
