SAN JOSE

Summary

I am a nursing student at San Jose State University. I found my love and passion for medicine and health care when I joined the Army National Guard as a healthcare specialist/combat medic. I found that helping others is extremely fulfilling and would like to make it my life-long career. I enjoyed my time in the military and am grateful to have found a career path that I love. I am originally from Tustin in Southern California but I moved up to San Jose for school.
