I am a senior at the University of Pittsburgh, pursuing a Bachelors in Science of Nursing. Throughout my education, I have gained extensive clinical experience at UPMC and the Pittsburgh VA, and building a strong foundation in patient care through my role as a patient care technician on UPMC Presbyterian’s Trauma Surgery unit, 9G. This experience, along with my clinical experience across various units and engagement in learning opportunities, has helped me become well-rounded and appreciate the diverse aspects of nursing. I also have an extensive background in serving the disability community. As my graduation approaches in April 2025, I am excited to bring a diverse perspective and my foundation of nursing skills into my future career.
