“Initially, with a degree in exercise science, I looked into physical therapy and physician assistant programs after graduating from Ohio Dominican. I decided nursing was what I wanted to pursue, and since I had a bachelor's degree, the accelerated BSN program at Mercy College was the right fit for me.”
