​​​I want to become a CRNA to maintain the essence of nursing care while evolving into something new. I know I can be present for my patients at their most vulnerable moments and honor the highest level of patient advocacy before, during, and after anesthesia. I plan to treat this career with respect and pride as I represent my family, heritage, and nursing community. I will be honored to focus on my studies while supporting my classmates to do the same. This achievement is bigger than personal success, and I strive to inspire future cohorts to ensure patients feel heard, valued, and safe.
