Student Spotlight-Sariah Pereira
Two years into my undergrad, I switched from the nursing program to health sciences. My biggest reason for switching was that I realized that clinical care wasn’t for me because I didn’t feel like I was doing enough for the health care system. Like so many people, I wanted to feel like I was doing more for others and giving more of myself. I felt that day to day patient contact wasn’t enough, so I thought that I would go to law school and would eventually implement change on an institutional, or governmental level.
