Passionate student eager to learn and develop fundamental knowledge in the healthcare and early childhood education scene. I am currently a third-year college student at Virginia Commonwealth University, majoring in nursing and minoring in early childhood special education. I am seeking to take a step forward in my career in nursing by indulging in the hospital setting. If granted a space in your environment I am determined to add a young, willing, and passionate student that is more than excited to expand my knowledge and take guidance from experienced individuals.
