My motivation

I am truly motivated by God’s call to love and serve others deeply and wholeheartedly. My faith drives me to seek opportunities to be a part of restoring a broken world.  Nursing, to me, is one of the most joy-filled ways that I get to love and embrace people in this broken world.

My latest accomplishments

Being a part of Calvin College’s orientation board this past summer was an accomplishment and fulfillment of my college “dream job.” I had the chance to work alongside a team of student leaders and professional staff in order to carry out Calvin’s summer and fall orientation programs. I was able to utilize new skills, plan programs with different teams of interns, and dive into the importance of orientation programs. Being a part of a team that was full of passion to love new students, serve the Lord, ask difficult questions, brainstorm innovative ideas, and share personal college journeys was nothing short of life-changing for me (and many of my team members).

Next big goal

My goal is to continue following where the Lord leads me, wherever that may be. I am always up for an adventure! Short-term, I would love to graduate with my BSN and pursue my first nursing job. My long-term goal is to move to Rehoboth, New Mexico to pursue a nursing career there, while finding ways to learn about and serve alongside the Rehoboth community.

Why is choosing your own path important?

I believe that choosing your own path allows for an adventure of finding out who you were made to be. Once you have discovered your gifts and skills, I think you find that you can offer up your gifts for the better of others and the world. That is powerful and beautiful--when your own path actually leads you back to loving others and seeking a larger, world-focused purpose.
