**Which program are you pursuing and what about the subject intrigues you most?**

Nursing. It is a calling for me - to be able to help people at their most vulnerable moments and impact real change in their lives. It is an honor to be a part of their healthcare experience. Everyone deserves affirming and safe healthcare and I am doing everything I can to help those I cross paths with achieve it.

**What are your education and career aspirations?**

I want to go on for my Bachelor of Science and then work in a critical care environment. Once I have experience, I would love to get my master's and be a nurse practitioner. My areas of passion are gender affirming care, neonatology, and pediatrics.

**What is a fun fact about you that few people know?**

It's widely known but super fun... I have played competitive roller derby for half of my life!

**What is your favorite book/movie/song and why?**

The film adaptation of Phantom of the Opera. I love theater and movie versions make it super accessible to everyone. Plus, Emmy Rossum's voice is *angelic*.

**What is your current favorite streaming binge and why?**

Hulu has all the episodes of The Golden Girls and it is my all-time favorite show. I could watch them on repeat forever (and I do, let's be real).

**In your spare time, what do you enjoy doing?**

Skating, caring for my plants, eating delicious food, loving on my sweet dog, and shopping for deals and bargains.

**How are you practicing self-care during this difficult time?**

Daily exercise, drinking enough water (the eternal struggle), long showers and perfume every day, and baking.

**How are you adjusting to remote life and what are your tips to stay motivated?**

If anyone has the answer to this... let me know! LOL! I struggle with distance learning and staying engaged. The only tip I have is to turn your camera on. Hold yourself accountable and engage with those speaking with you.

**As a Point Community College Scholarship Recipient, what is your message to other LGBTQ+ students?**

Be unapologetically, wholeheartedly, 100% you. Pursue what you want to regardless of what others think and continue to better yourself every day. Nobody cares more about your education than you do — so go out there are fight for it. And, most importantly, be kind to yourself — you're doing your best.
