I am a 24-year-old sophomore at New York City College of Technology, working towards becoming a registered nurse (RN). As a surgical technician in a vein clinic, I am involved in patient care. I take pride in my Hispanic heritage, appreciating its diversity. Graduating high school as valedictorian in 2016 fueled my dedication to continuous growth and learning. Motivated by my passion for healthcare, I chose nursing as my career path, solidifying my commitment through my role as a surgical tech. As I progress towards nursing, I embrace the challenges and rewards ahead. I am committed to ongoing growth and compassionate care.
