    During my undergraduate career here at St. Ambrose University, I have been blessed with the opportunity to learn from some of the best. As a first generation college student I have strived for the finest and made a plan to not only receive my undergraduate degree but also my masters in occupational therapy. While at St. Ambrose have taken maximum credit loads to keep me on track for the 2 + 3 occupational therapy program.

    During my childhood, I spent an unusual amount of time at construction pads for various reasons, such as friends building new homes and my family looking at new neighborhoods. My father used our time at one of these pads to tie together a lesson. He, in his kind voice, recited First Corinthians 3:11 “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” He went on to tell me how foundations determine the grandness of the structure to come; whether that be physical, spiritual or educational. One day I would like to follow in my father’s footsteps and be a part of the medical community, but to do so I need a well laid foundation to build my medical education upon.…

    My Personal Goal Statement Every day I wake up, I ask myself how I can make a difference. This question has helped shape my personal values and principles and directed my path into the nursing field. Growing up in West Africa and witnessing firsthand the sufferings and impoverishment of the people around me, I developed a sense of compassion and willingness to make a difference and help alleviate their sufferings and put a smile on their faces. Healthcare delivery and poverty are two major underlying factors in the challenges faced in Africa, thus, when I got an opportunity to come into the United States, it was my golden ticket to finally give back to the community and make a difference. This led me into the nursing field; I started out as a Certified Nurse Assistant.…

    I and Jack met the patient in the Healthy Heart Program waiting room upon which our patient James discussed his interest in music and ability to play musical instruments with us. We discussed how Jazz was a form of rebellion against traditional music and how it was born in bars not college campuses. Next our patient was taken to a patient room to have his vitals take. It is interesting to see that in hospitals so much of the data collection and recording regarding a patient is done using technology.…

    When I first decided to pursue a career in medicine, the osteopathic philosophy was not something I was very familiar with. I knew that I owed it to myself and even my future patients to research the profession and make it a priority to shadow an osteopathic physician. It took many cold calls and emails, but through the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Mentor Program I was eventually able to find an osteopathic physician, specializing in family medicine, that was excited to share the profession with me. Dr. Phuc Huynh, DO, invited me to spend the morning with him as he visited his patients in a skilled nursing facility. Conversing with Dr. Huynh about the osteopathic philosophy and observing him compassionately interact with his patients…
