Originally from Maryland, I received my Bachelor of Arts in Health Care Studies from the University of Richmond. I've always known that the health care profession was for me. I valued caring for others and have always been fascinated in disease processes.

She took the time to pull me aside and stated how well I had treated her during her visit.
When I first began my higher education journey, I was professionally interested in lab research, so I earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from UNC-Chapel Hill.

My role in the study required me to collaborate and exchange notes with these nurses as I conducted enrollment interviews.
