Hi, I’m Bernadette, I am a first-generation college student and currently a nursing student at SFSU. I have overcome and achieved so much in my education, I am doing things I never thought I would be able to do.

I am motivated in attaining a nursing degree from the San Francisco State University School of nursing to become well versed to meet the needs of diverse individuals, families, and our underrepresented community.

I am committed to my professional development and my educational endeavors in my education will have a huge positive influence on my healthcare contributions allowing me to have a positive impact and effect on patients' health outcomes. After years of physical rehabilitation, I enjoy the outdoors and spend time within the community. I am dependable, loyal, responsible, and enjoy volunteering.
