Christina Sok

UConn School of Nursing, Class of 2013

I am the eldest in a family of six, and the first of 15 grandchildren. I was born in California, raised in Massachusetts and moved to Hartford about five years ago. The health field and human anatomy have always interested me. Through a variety of experiences, including shadowing and working with the Area Health Education Center, I concluded that I would prefer to be a neonatal nurse. With such a large family, I have a lot of experience with infants, and I find that caring for them is rewarding and fascinating. UST appeals to me because it seeks to provide care to urban areas, such as Hartford, and will offer me a chance to give back to my community.
