"Getting my degree isn't just about me, it’s about providing a stable life for my children, breaking the cycle of poverty I was born into and about the impact I plan on making in the nursing field. I have a heart for the community, especially the undeserved of Linden. I plan on pursuing a Master’s of Public Health within the next 5 years as well.”
