Further to my application into the Nursing program at Vanier College, I express my intent as a prospective student.
Becoming a nurse has been a calling for me and it was only a matter of timing that would allow me to acquire the skills needed to practise the profession. My aim is to be able to give selfless support and provide care with compassion and empathy.

Through this experience, I subconsciously developed strength of character not only for myself but others who may need me. In 1998, I volunteered at the Montreal General Hospital where my adoptive mother worked in the surgical teaching department of McGill.

I am altruistic, intelligent, grounded and I believe
