What's one fun fact about yourself?
I look up to my grandparents. They both came from pretty much nothing and overcame so many hardships. The way that they’ve been able to create a successful business and life for themselves is so inspiring to me. They are two of the most loving and supportive people that I know, and I hope to be like them one day. I also really look up to Amanda Gorman. The way that she went from having a very pronounced speech impediment to reciting an impassioned and inspiring speech at the inauguration is amazing.
I want to be a labor and delivery nurse when I’m older. As I further my career, I would love to focus more on finding solutions for problems within the field like accessible healthcare and inequities in maternal healthcare.
One fun fact about myself is I love visiting any kind of historical place. Whether it’s a museum, monument, library, or estate, it’s on my bucket list!
