- What do you love about your academic program?
I love the fact that the teaching hospital Fletcher Allen is right on campus. I also love how competitive it is gives me a drive to work harder.
- What surprised you about UVM?
The school as a whole surprised me as to how open and welcoming it is to diversity and equality.
- Think of how you have grown as a person through your college experience. Can you think of a particular story that speaks to or illustrates that growth?
I’ve always been an independent person, but attending College in different state really tests how independent I can really be. I also realized that college is really where I would meet people that will most likely be part of my life in the long run, I remember my orientation roommate Chelsea Purinton and how distant we were those two days on campus. She thought I was really intimidating, and I didn’t want to be around her which was partly true. I can be intimidating at times. I would have never guessed she’d be one of my close friends on campus.

- What was your first day of clinicals like?
Oh boy, my first of clinical was scary. I was nervous, doubtful of my abilities and didn’t really want to do much on the Labor and Delivery floor.  But the nurse that I worked with realize that I this is my first rotation and did not push me as much.
- One word: Describe your favorite faculty member. Then elaborate.

- What will you miss most about your time at CNHS?
My colleagues and working with my peers during the clinical rotations. Those rotations really brought most of us together .

- What advice do you have for your peers?
All I have to say is open the door and go the distance!

- Why are you excited about your career? How do you hope to make a difference?
I am really excited about being a nurse and helping people. I love helping people. I want to achieve the highest education possible as a nurse, become a nursing administrator make sure more people see that nurses are just as important as doctors when it comes to giving an optimal care for patients.
