Academic Area: Nursing
Scholar Biography:
I am a junior majoring in nursing, a field which has been an intellectual interest of mine since I was a young child. In ten years, I see myself successfully achieving my ultimate goal of becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. I plan to own a nursing and medical practice that will provide adequate health care to a diverse group of patients from childhood to adulthood. I am determined in making an impact in many lives and becoming an agent for change in nursing.
Currently, I am an Academic Peer Advocate for First-Year Initiative students and will become a Resident Assistant in Fall 2009. I am also involved in several organizations, such as 21st Century Scholars, Alpha Lambda Delta, Student Nurses Association, Mortar Board, and the list continues. As a McNair scholar, I hope to gain knowledge that will help prepare me in furthering my education in graduate school.
