    As a child, I never wanted to be a nurse. I wanted to be Canadian, but my teacher informed that is not a job. At the time, I disagreed, but that boiled down to semantics. To me, being Canadian meant being friendly, helping others, and being a good person.

At the same time, I have also developed an intense intellectual curiosity about the human mind and the way that trauma alters the perspective of the individual.

Those personal challenges together with my professional psychiatric nursing experience have contributed to my interest in advanced education. After careful thought, I have drawn the conclusion that the obvious career direction for which I am best suited, by nature and by prior undergraduate…

    A couple of months ago, I was admitted into The University of Alabama’s upper division nursing program in the Capstone College of Nursing.
