My name is Nim Tse, and I use he/him pronouns. I was born in China but immigrated to the United States at a young age. Brooklyn has been the place that I call my home for two decades. I have always wanted to work in a health-related profession, and the reason I chose City Tech is that my mother also got her bachelor’s degree in nursing. I am currently in my last semester of the associate’s program in nursing and will hopefully continue in City Tech to pursue a bachelor’s degree in the same major. Outside school, I work as a tutor teaching college-level chemistry courses, which I enjoy. I look forward to this class as the history of the Harlem Renaissance interested me when I took U.S. history in high school. I plan to pursue reading as another hobby when I have more availability.

Below is a picture of me in my nursing uniform that I took last year. That day was my birthday, and I was wearing it for my clinical. When I am in that nursing uniform, I think of all the hard work it took me to reach where I am today. It also symbolizes my responsibilities as an advocate for patients and a potential educator for my community. Education has been a significant component of my life. With different identities as a chemistry and nursing student, it shapes me into a new future, sharing what I know based on experiences.

Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Best regards,

Nim Tse
