Why did you choose the University of Central Arkansas? I loved the atmosphere during my first tour of the campus. Everyone looked so excited to be a UCA Bear, and I wanted that same feeling.
What drew you to nursing? UCA’s nursing program is one of the best in Arkansas. This program drew me to UCA because of the prestigious reputation and advanced technology. I am so grateful I chose this major because UCA’s nursing program is everything I thought it would be and more. Nursing has always been a career that interested me since I was a child. Being able to be there for someone and care for them at one of their most vulnerable points of life takes a strong individual. Nursing embodies the values of integrity, intellectual humility and ethics. These all are important to me and geared my focus towards nursing as I entered UCA.
What’s been your favorite class that you’ve taken so far? The best class I’ve ever taken is human anatomy and physiology with Dr. Mike Martin. He is one of the best professors UCA has by far.
What are your hobbies? My favorite things to do include hiking and watching TV in my spare time.
What’s a favorite experience you’ve had at UCA? My favorite experience at UCA is my entire freshman year. This is because everything was so new and so interesting to me. I honestly feel that it was the best year of college I’ve had so far because UCA has so many new and fresh experiences for freshmen to be a part of.
What goals do you want to accomplish at UCA? My goal is to become a role model for younger students. Role models on campus gives hope to other students that one day they’ll be able to become leaders and inspire others.
