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.

Heart of Healthcare Nursing Scholarship

Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare industry, keepers of the Nightingale Pledge, and members of one of the most trusted and valued professions in the world. Their work constantly elevates the delivery of healthcare services, improving patient safety, promoting wellness, improving access to care, reducing healthcare costs, and doing it all while ensuring the best possible patient outcomes.

Whether you’re earning your first degree in nursing, or your next one, your efforts are part of something bigger, advancing the nursing profession itself while ensuring everyone gets the kind of care we’d all want our own family and friends to have access to. It’s a noble profession, and one that attracts people with purpose.

That’s why we want to show our appreciation to future nurses and those advancing in the field by making it a little easier to cover the cost of earning a degree by offering the 2021 Honors in Nursing Scholarship – worth $1,000!

My life has been split between living in rural South Carolina and in crime-ridden Newark, New Jersey. In both, I have had firsthand experience on what health care looks like when there are a lack of resources and for marginalized communities. I have lost very important family members like my mom and grandpa, suddenly, to things that could have easily been treated by something as simple as education and early screenings. I vowed to not let that happen to others. For me, being the change, I wanted to see in health care delivery is why I decided to pursue a career in nursing.

I was born in Romania and moved to the United States in 1998, when my family won the Visa Lottery. My father jokingly applied for the visa with no intentions of being chosen, so winning was a shock to my entire family.
