PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE

PRIOR WORK

Summary

In my previous professional life, I leveraged my Communications degree from Boston College to pursue a brief, yet highly influential career in Advertising & Marketing. While I ultimately discovered a path in Nursing better suited for my skills, personality, and life goals, I grew tremendously on both personal and professional levels on the journey in that direction. Learning about influencing behavior, interpersonal communication, and business operations has proven invaluable in the clinical setting and makes me a dynamic and highly effective health care provider. Finding my passion in Nursing inspired me to continue my education to maximize my capabilities.
