San Diego, California, United States
I’m full of curiosity and excited to feed my mind with new knowledge. My hobbies include playing the guitar, singing, taking pictures/videos when I travel to different states and countries, riding my electric scooter, organizing and cleaning my small studio, and playing Mobile Legends (which is similar to League of Legends). My professional goal is to achieve career stability, and my educational goal is to improve my GPA. That's why I am taking this subject to complete my prerequisites. I’ve worked in different jobs because I never wanted to believe the stereotype that nursing is the only career path for Filipinos. I’ve been a technical support agent, a contact center representative, a health associate at UCSD, and a medical assistant at Sharp Rees-Stealy. Through these experiences, I realized that I truly belong in the medical field. However, I've come to realize that I genuinely care for patients and believe I can do more than I have so far. That’s why now, I am determined to become a nurse. This is my first time attending college. I look forward to having a fun and productive semester.
