Hi!! My name is Payton and I’m from Omaha, Nebraska. I’m currently a freshman nursing student at Creighton University and absolutely loving my experience so far. Being at Creighton has really opened my eyes to the importance of service, which is one of the university’s core values. Since coming here, I’ve made it a personal goal to step outside my comfort zone and serve in ways I never thought I would.

One incredible opportunity I’ve been given is the chance to study abroad in Italy. This experience will allow me to grow not only academically as a nursing student, but also personally as I immerse myself in a new culture and healthcare environment. I’m so excited to learn how healthcare is practiced in a different part of the world and bring that knowledge back with me.

I’m reaching out because I need a little support to help make this opportunity possible. Any contribution would mean so much to me and help me take this next step in my journey toward becoming a nurse who can serve others with compassion and a global perspective. Thank you so much for your support!
