I’m from Columbus, Ohio, but I have loved going to school in Arkansas because of the awesome nature and people that I’m surrounded by. I’m so excited to be in this position to get to serve nursing students across the state!

Hello, my name is Yanett Garcia. I am a nursing student from Monticello Arkansas, and I am in my Junior year. I aspire to graduate in May of 2024. I am passionate about caring for others and I absolutely love the field of nursing in every aspect because of nursing school. I am bilingual and come from a unique ethnicity that lacks knowledge about nursing. I am interested in this position to be able to teach other schools, universities, and programs about SNA, interest them in nursing, and hopefully inspire the future to take this path. I wish to become a traveling nurse and explore different communities. Some interests of mine are reading romance novels, listening to music, and traveling outside the country.
