She had a long path performing in different areas, before she decided to become a nurse. Although she always dreamed of being a nurse, her family and friends weren’t supportive of it. It wasn’t until she came to the United States, that she saw the relevance of nurses and the key role they play in patients. Ingrid had to take a different number of courses that required extra work, but she found part-time jobs and classes that helped her schedule as a mom and a student.

Being a bilingual nurse today, has given her advantage both in the medical field and in patient care.
