Fun Facts
Fun facts about my little self: I love running, yes I sound crazy saying that but it is a freeing and encouraging experience for me. I have grown up in Southern California my whole life and the beach life is definitely a passion of mine. I have traveled to numerous places such as Alaska, Hawaii, DC, Italy, Nicaragua, Spain, France, and I have road tripped to many states surrounding CA. I am hoping to study abroad next year in Australia for nursing.
About Me
I am a freshman nursing major at the University of Portland. I attended Saint Bonaventure High School in Ventura, CA earning a 3.5-4.0 weighted GPA during my time there. I hope to succeed in college and keep my grades up so that I may earn scholarships and recognitions. At UP, it is a 4-year nursing program to earn a BSN, but, my ultimate goal would be to take the extra 2 years to become a Nurse Practitioner.
Experience
At my high school, I freely helped tutor my fellow classmates and underclassmen during my lunch periods and after school breaks. It is a joy of mine to help others, thus why I am working to become a nurse. The beauty of tutoring is that it is a win-win situation, the feeling of success when the person you are helping succeeds is phenomenal.
Approach
High school definitely hit my hard when I realized how much harder I had to work to succeed in my courses. I had to learn new study skills and ways of approaching lessons. Luckily, teachers taught me strategies to take notes or comprehend material that I still use today, as well as teach those I am tutoring. Sharing these strategies with other students is extremely beneficial because sometimes all it takes for someone to understand subjects is a new perspective.
