Greetings to all my fellow NSNA members ! I am honored to have been elected to serve you on the National Student Nursing Association ’ s Board of Directors for the 2022- 2023 term . I am presently a junior at Jacksonville University pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing with a minor in Psychology and will graduate in fall 2023 . I currently serve as President of the Jacksonville University SNA chapter , Vice President of JU ’ s Mentorship Executive Board , 2023 Cohort Representative , and was just selected as one of JU ’ s Kirbo Lab Fellowship Scholars . I am a nationally certified medical assistant ( CMA ) and registered physical therapist ( RPT ) with previously employment at UF Health Jacksonville and Nemours Children ’ s Hospital .
I serve as chair for the Population and Global Health Committee ( PGHC ), and will be a sitting member for the Health Policy & Advocacy Committee and Breakthrough to Nursing ( BTN ) Committee . I am excited to present our theme for this upcoming year as I . M . P . A . C . T ( Improving Mental Public Accessed Care Together ). Our committee goals for the upcoming year include some actions that we feel are pertinent to our world today and look to make the biggest IMPACT for change .
Mental Health recognition and training to recognize signs and symptoms that are often missed or overlooked , as well as covering social media and the influence it has on the global population . Increased participation of blood drives and training programs such as Stop the Bleed , the American Red Cross Disaster Certification Program , and others within nursing schools across the U . S . and world . The inclusion of Professional Identity Formation in Nursing will be included in our committee work by showcasing what we can accomplish in viewing ourselves as the current and future nurses of the world . The everyday practice and use of our autonomy as it relates to both our professional and personal lives . Understanding and using comportment in the proper function as defined and intended within our professional nursing identity framework .
Educating others within the nursing student body how to put into use a didactic formula in which they can enrich not only their professional identity as a nurse but personal identity as well . Personally , as the chair of the Population and Global Health Committee I attended the ( ANHE ) Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments Annual Conference on May 19 and 20th , 2022 ; I will also be serving on the ANHE student committee representing NSNA . On June 21st I met with Admiral Rachel Levine , the Asst . Secretary of Health for the Department of Health , and Human Services ( HHS ) to discuss the addition of climate action education into the
nursing school curriculum . In addition , over the summer of 2022 , I met with the Biden administration to discuss nursing students ’ involvement with climate action and the impact we can have in working together .
Wishing each of you the best on your journey through nursing school . I hope to have the opportunity to meet you all at the Mid-Year Conference in Virginia Beach , VA or the Annual Convention in Nashville , TN . Please reach out to me as I am available anytime to answer any questions or discuss and concerns you may have about the association or committee DirectorS @ nsnainc . org . n

I love being a student nurse and I am even more excited to become a registered nurse .

We need to be proud of our steps in nursing school since this is our future . We are the ones who can shape the future to make policies , laws , and regulations to benefit patients , families , and ALL nurses who will be taking on the role of advocating and caring deeply for patients . It is up to us to make the changes we want to see for a better world today and tomorrow .
I am excited about the future and what we are all able to accomplish . I am grateful for this opportunity and hope to inspire others to be a part of professional organizations and act to make the necessary changes . n
