Topic: Career Tuesday
I’m a 28 year old from Spokane, WA, USA.
I have studied in the Middle East, was an LDS (mormon) missionary in El Salvador and Belize, was a travel ICU nurse throughout the USA, and have traveled throughout North, South, and Central America as well as Asia.
When I started my Doctorate program, it was made clear we were not to get married, have babies, or get divorced during those 3 years of grad school. Having a family has always been my ultimate dream! The right man came, and we knew it was time to start our family. Getting married and having a baby has been the best adventure and experience of all!! Being a wife and mother is the most empowering and fulfilling role I’ve had yet!
I have graduated with my Doctorate as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner and am expecting baby #2. My husband always tells me “you can have it all!”. I’m starting to believe him!!
