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. However, I was a bit stuck as to which path in health care would suit me best, so I took some time to work as a medical assistant. An encounter with one patient stayed with me. 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. However, shortly after my time in undergrad, I had the opportunity to work as a research specialist for a large epidemiological cancer study where I worked alongside a team of nurses who traveled to participants’ homes and conducted interviews. My role in the study required me to collaborate and exchange notes with these nurses as I conducted enrollment interviews.
