I am Valerie. I’m a senior and Level 3 nursing student at Southern Utah University. I am Treasurer for the SUU Student Nursing Association and really enjoy the opportunity to work with the leadership at SUU. I am excited to work with the Utah Student Nursing Association as Treasurer as well. It is a great opportunity for me to expand on my leadership skills and collaborate with amazing nursing students across the state. I have lived in St. George, Utah for three years and I love to travel and explore the area. I enjoy the mountains, the great hiking, and mountain biking in Utah.

Howdy ya’ll! My name is Nelson and I’m in the nursing program over at the University of Utah. My end goal is working as a flight nurse and I am so stoked to be making my way ever so closer to it. In terms of what I love doing, I am a taco connoisseur, a classic rock snob, and an amateur banjo player (emphasis on the amateur). I’m excited to work with my board this year and make this a great USNA year!

Howdy! My name's Macie and I'm from the great town of Kamas, Ut. My favorite pass time is reading and my favorite color is red. I am currently attending Southern Utah University (GO T-BIRDS!) and will graduate with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing in December of 2024. I plan to follow up this degree with a Master's in Midwifery. It's my dream to deliver babies and help mama's through the beautiful journey of bringing life into this world.

 Hi everyone! My name is Marin McOmber, and I'm originally from Gilbert, Arizona. I'm currently in my senior year at Brigham Young University, and I would love to become either a pediatric emergency room nurse or a neonatal nurse when I graduate! I love swimming, hiking, playing badminton, and playing the piano. I also love to bake, especially if there's chocolate in it ;) Other than graduating in December, my biggest goals right now are to do a triathlon and travel to Europe.

My name is Otavio and I’m from Brazil! I attend the BYU College of Nursing and will be graduating December of 2024. One of the reasons I love SNA is because of the opportunity I have had to meet students from all over Utah and the country who have unique stories and perspectives, but share a common passion. With my nursing BSN, I intend to work in psychiatric and mental health nursing and ultimately further my education and become a nursing professor and researcher.
|
Hey y’all my name is Brooklyn! I am a senior and have been attending school at Southern Utah University to obtain my dual baccalaureate in Human Nutrition and Nursing. I will be graduating Spring 2024 and strive to pursue my dream of working in the emergency department. I plan on gaining experience in critical care for a few years before attending school again to obtain my DNP FNP/ENP. I hope to one day serve as a provider in the armed forces and give back to others within the community.
