A little bit about me...

​

I was born in South Carolina, but Gainesville has been my home for ten years now. I am the oldest of five children, so I have always been a natural leader and had a desire to look out for others. Church and family are central parts of my life, and they have made a major impact on who I am today. I love photography, spending time in the mountains, expanding my creativity through music & art, and being a Florida Gator!

​

Soon after discovering a love for anatomy and biology, I realized that nursing was a great fit for me. I have aspired to this goal since the beginning of high school, and I am excited to say that I will be graduating from the University of Florida with my BSN degree in the spring of 2020. I would love to go on to pursue an advanced degree, and plan to work specifically with pediatrics in community heath. 

​

Despite my frequent travels around the United States and desire to see and experience new places, I had never been out of the country before traveling to Grenada. As soon as I saw this study abroad opportunity, I knew it was something I wanted to participate in, not only to expand my perspective as a future nurse, but also to broaden my experience as a person. I have wanted to make the most of every opportunity at the University of Florida, and this study abroad program opened my eyes far more than I thought it could.
