National Association of Hispanic Nurses Phoenix Chapter

Words from your President

It is my greatest honor to be the President of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses- Phoenix Chapter. This has been a goal I have had since 2017 when I first joined NAHN as a nursing student. I will strive to promote advocacy, educational, and professional opportunities for Hispanic nurses. I was welcomed into NAHN with open arms by strangers who became my mentors and are now like family. I truly believe in giving back to the community and ensuring our community feels a sense of belonging in nursing. To ensure representation of your goals, I will empower our community by making connections in our community. As the President of NAHN-Phoenix, I promise to always put the interest of NAHN first and to be exemplary of our values. Gracias a ustedes! NAHN wouldn't be what it is today without the incredible work of our Board of Directors and of course our membership!
