"My favorite thing about HOSA was the vast amount of opportunity available to every single member across the nation and the world"
am also a part of the club PAIN-- Professional Associations in Nursing. When I get the chance, I really enjoy spending time with my family and dogs in Prescott Valley.
What are your current career goals?
My current career goal is to be a Registered Nurse. This might change once I get through Nursing School, but at this moment I want to work in the ICU or in dialysis.
How has HOSA helped you?
HOSA has helped me in countless ways, but one thing I took away that I think helped the most was learning to have confidence with humility when serving others. I always lacked in confidence, but HOSA taught me that it’s crucial to be confident in yourself and in others. However, there’s a silver lining between confidence and pride, and the difference is humility. After attending the crazy large conferences, I was so humbled by the amount of people considering a career in a health profession. I’m not the only one! But this also gave me confidence in myself to achieve my goals because there are thousands of others that are giving it their all, too. HOSA was my first inspiration to go to nursing school!
What is something not a lot of people know about you?
A lot of people may not know that I have a deep obsession for Dachshunds!
What would you say to someone who is considering running for state office?
I would say DO IT! I would also say make sure you’re ready to commit yourself to the organization and it members. Go at it with the most positive and encouraging attitude in everything you do because the members look to you to serve them. Stay humble, but never lose confidence!
