Rachel lives in Yerington, NV where she works as a CNA at South Lyon Medical Center. She currently attends WNC where she is taking her general education and prerequisite courses to become a Registered Nurse. After nursing school, Rachel plans to continue her education to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist.
Growing up, Rachel did not think college was in the realm of possibilities due to financial barriers. However, with her dreams of becoming a nurse in mind, she pushes herself to find ways to make college possible. She works full time, commutes an hour and a half each way to take classes, and has completed many scholarship applications to make her dreams a reality. All of her hard work is paying off!
Rachel’s favorite quote.
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.” -Dr. Seuss
