Plans
I plan to attend The University of Pittsburgh’s School of Nursing program, where I intend to graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. After graduation, I plan on working as a bedside nurse in a local hospital before returning to graduate school. As a graduate student, I aspire to become a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner before returning to nursing. I want to assist patients and family members and give them a reason to smile during difficult times.
