I am a passionate and dedicated professional with a strong foundation in education and a deep commitment to serving others. I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2023 with a Bachelor of Arts in Education, majoring in Human Development and Family Studies and minoring in Education. Following graduation, I taught first grade, where I honed my skills in communication, empathy, and fostering growth in young learners.Currently, I am pursuing my dream of becoming a neonatal or pediatric intensive care unit nurse through Duke University's Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing program. My experiences in education and child development, combined with my passion for healthcare, drive my aspiration to provide compassionate, expert care to critically ill children and their families. My goal is to combine my knowledge of human development with advanced nursing skills to make a meaningful impact in the lives of young patients and their families.
