I run in a long line of health care in my family; ranging from physical therapy to nursing to anesthesia. I worked at a retirement home at 16 (my very first job!) as a server and I fell in love with so many of the people there. I loved listening to their story and background. My best traits as a caregiver is my compassion and patience. I was accepted in to the UCO nursing program in the spring of 2018 and now I am heading into my senior year. I am so excited to be able to gain new knowledge everyday on ways to treat mental and physical illnesses.
