-: UT had an immense impact
on where I am today.
Starting off through that RN to BSN program,
all of the faculty were so supportive.
I saw that support
and that encouragement that I got
and I thought, I really wanna be like them someday.
I really wanted to elevate myself to their level,
to be that way as a nurse.
Seeing how supportive they were,
it drove me to, I think I wanna be like that.
I wanna be a nurse educator as well.
That drew me back to come back.
Everybody was so willing to work with me,
share their experiences,
share their love of nursing.
That kept drawing me back.
I came back for my doctorate of nursing practice
at the University of Toledo.
Working through that, my goal was,
I wanna work here.
They were able to help support me
and encourage me, and here I am,
working for the University of Toledo
doing what I love.
