And for our last, but certainly not least senior spotlight, we are introducing Lisa!
🩺I hail from Port-au-Prince, and I am an island girl at heart. My passion is living life on my own terms. My motto is, “If you don’t live on you, then who else will?”, so you better clap for yourself. Family plays a huge role in who I am and keeps me grounded. I love traveling, exploring new places, finding great vegan food spots, reading and writing poetry, and spending time at thrift stores and farmers’ markets.
🩺My aspirations is to pursue my dreams of becoming both a CRNA and a Nurse Practitioner. I hope to one day split my time between my homeland, Haiti, and wherever life takes me, using the skills and knowledge I have gained to help those back home. I believe everyone deserves proper access to healthcare, no matter their circumstances.
🩺Bethel College happened unexpectedly after I was placed on another schools waiting list. Looking back, it was a blessing in disguise because it led me to Bethel’s program through a friend’s recommendation. I was drawn to the smaller class sizes and the professors’ dedication to their students.
🩺My advice to future nursing students is that you get out of it what you put into it. Remember, you are in college, and no one is going to hold your hand through the process. Speak up and advocate for yourself when you need help, and you will see your village begin to form around you. Nursing school is challenging, and having a strong support system makes all the difference.
