Growing up in San Francisco, I was raised by a strong role model- my mother, a dedicated nurse whose compassion and resilience continuously inspired me since a young age. Her commitment to caring for others sparked my own interest in nursing. Since high school, I dipped my toes into healthcare by volunteering with Red Cross and researching healthcare policies. It was through my focused efforts that I had the privilege of attending the University of San Francisco for my Bachelors of Science in Nursing.

Throughout my BSN program, I discovered that nursing is not just a profession- It’s a calling. Nursing combines critical thinking, advocacy, and empathy in a way that deeply resonates with who I am and who I strive to become. Every course, clinical rotation, and patient interaction I've faced challenges and reinforces my belief that this is the path I’m meant to follow.

As a new graduate nurse, I may be at the beginning of my professional journey, but I bring with me a strong academic foundation, meaningful hands-on experience, and a genuine passion for helping others. I’m excited to grow, learn, and make a difference with my own two hands and feet.
