Hello! I'm Desiree’ Dill, a passionate nurse and proud graduate student at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, working toward my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. I'm excited to share that this inspiring journey is bringing me closer to my dream of becoming a pediatric nurse practitioner! I look forward to making a positive impact in both primary and acute care while helping children and families along the way.

I’m excited about two upcoming opportunities in March 2026 and would appreciate your support in making them happen. The first is a meaningful international service trip to San Ignacio, Belize, where I’ll team up with fellow students and staff to provide care at a health clinic and engage in community outreach in rural areas. I’ll also have the chance to explore Mayan ruins and immerse myself in Belizean culture firsthand.

The second is attending the annual National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There, I will have the opportunity to connect with pediatric nurse practitioners from across the country, learn about the latest innovative treatments and devices for pediatric care, and participate in a prep class to help me prepare for the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board exam to earn my license as a pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP).

I truly appreciate any support in turning these inspiring experiences into reality.
