About Rishonda

Currently, I am enrolled in an accelerated nursing program at Roseman University of Health Sciences. I have worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant throughout Arizona from hospitals and clinical settings to nursing homes, assisted living and home health. I truly have a passion for caring for others and making a difference. I love learning and getting know new people as well as finding at least one thing to make someone who is not feeling so great feel better. School has not always been easy for me because of how expensive it is to go. I worked and went to school full-time throughout my first degree. I am most proud of overcoming my fear of going back to school and pursuing my nursing degree that I will finish by October 2015. Something about me is that I was born and raised in Arizona and I am the youngest of 4 and the only girl. I played banked-track roller derby for Arizona and was awarded Most Valuable Player for 2 games in a row last year.
