WinnerBio
I have owned a nonprofit business since the age of 12. Currently, I am a junior in college, deeply passionate about nursing and empowering young women in my community. Through my nonprofit, I strive to help girls feel beautiful inside and out by ensuring they have their dream dress to wear to prom. For me, kindness and making the world a better place are more than just values; I feel they are my purpose.
My dream is to become a nurse, serving rural communities with a focus on obstetric and gynecologic care. While caring for patients during the day, I plan to continue growing my nonprofit in the evenings, with aspirations to expand to neighboring states. I believe the future lies in empowering our youth, and I have dedicated the past decade of my life to uplifting, inspiring, and motivating those around me.
I would make an excellent scholarship recipient because of my consistent dedication to my community, my passion for improving the health and well-being of others, and my commitment to creating meaningful change both as a future nurse and a leader.
