Why UB SON?
The distance learning format, affordable tuition and an excellent reputation inspired me to apply to the UB SON.
Areas of Interest
Currently, I am interested in geriatric and adult health, but in the future I’d like to broaden my interests into different stages of the lifespan.
Professional Goals
Based on my professional experience as a geriatric adult NP, I found that urgent psychiatric care tends to be delayed due to limited providers and clinics. I would like to become a resource for other medical professionals when they are looking for help in the psychiatric field.
Grateful
I am very thankful and honored to receive this award. This scholarship will lighten my financial burden and allow me to focus on my academic achievements.
