Theresa Connolly

UConn School of Nursing, Class of 2013

I grew up in Dedham, MA, a small suburb outside of Boston. From a young age, I knew that I wanted to be involved in the medical field. Over time, I realized that I desired to spend my professional career as a nurse. Nursing can have a huge impact on the lives of patients. It also is one of the most trusted professions. Ideally, after graduation, I would like to work in Boston. The UST provides participants with the knowledge and expertise needed to aid those who live in just such an urban area. In a country where so many people are unable to receive the care they need due to poverty and other factors, I believe it is important to serve the less fortunate. The UST will provide me with irreplaceable experiences and knowledge that will help me become the best nurse I can possibly be.
