Greetings! My name is Marie-Paule Pierre-Louis. I am a Psychiatric Nurse from New York, NY. I have been a nurse for 8 years now and I am in pursuit of my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. My ultimate goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner and open up a health practice that serves low income and marginalized women. As a psych Nurse I have come to understand the many faces of healthcare, and often we forget to treat the patients holistically . There are many health disparities that make women among the highest at risk for developing disease. I aspire to use my nursing knowledge to empower this population and diminish the disparities that exist that form barriers for optimal health.
