An exclusive interview

Helping others find their purpose in healthcare

“In the high school that I went to, they had what they call a medical magnet program. It was a program to start exposing students to different areas of careers, and this particular program had three tracks: dental, allied health, and nursing. I enrolled in a four-year program. During the first part of our day, we would do regular coursework - math, English, social studies, all that stuff - and then everything after lunch was geared toward whatever track we were on. That was my first exposure to nursing, and I was like, “I think I like this.”
