Hi everyone! I’m a Junior II nursing student from Kent, WA! I’ve been working as a CNA while in school, and I’m passionate about pursuing pediatrics or critical care. I love nursing because it gives me the chance to care for people while continuing to grow and challenge myself. Outside of school, I enjoy baking, reading, and exploring new cafes around the Seattle area. I’m so excited to be serving as President of Delta Iota Chi this year and can’t wait to connect with more of you through our events and projects!
This could be you ;)

Hi everyone! My name is Myra, and I’m a proud first-generation Filipina and senior II nursing student. I currently work as a nurse tech in the ICU at St. Clare and bring a few years of experience as a CNA/Med Tech in memory care. My career goal is to become a critical care nurse. Outside of nursing, I love music, reading manga, exploring creative hobbies, and I hope to travel more in the future. I’m truly excited to be serving on the Delta board this year, and I’m looking forward to collaborating with all of you!

Howdy everyone!
My name is Nicci, and I’m so excited to serve as your Secretary! I’m currently a Senior II, set to graduate this December, and I’ve been working in healthcare for over a decade with a strong passion for critical care.
I’ve lived in Washington my whole life, and outside of nursing, I’m a proud (and very busy!) mom of three. In my downtime, I love spending time with friends and jumping into just about any sport—I’m pretty competitive, but win or lose, I’ll always give it my best shot.
I can’t wait to see you all at our monthly meetings and look forward to serving as your Secretary this year!

Hey all! My name is Naomi and I'm super excited to be your Delta Historian. I graduate this December and fingers crossed I land a residency position in any emergency department. Outside of nursing school I enjoy hiking, reading, and playing pickleball.
Thanks for visiting this exquisitely crafted and upkept website (ran by yours truly).

Howdy y'all! I am a senior one in our nursing program. My hometown was Gainesville, Texas. I moved away to PLU to be with my boyfriend, who was also studying accounting at our school of business when I was eighteen. I speak English as my main language, and I am learning Spanish as well as Norwegian. If you ever wanna geek out about Norwegian culture, you can totally talk to me about it. My passions away from nursing are cooking, baking, homemaking (Norwegian :>), video games, clothing shopping, and shopping in general including groceries. Lastly, if you ever need help understanding what the NSNA is up to, you can always email me or the Delta Iota Chi email to get my attention or simply walk up to me to ask questions.

When I'm not studying or in clinicals, you'll find me living my best Pacific Northwest life. I love traveling for food and sightseeing - always hunting for the perfect hidden gem. Staying active is huge for me, whether I'm playing USTA tennis, hitting the trails for a hike, or hanging out with my dog Josie (she's basically my study buddy and stress relief all in one).
Early spring mornings have me out on the coast razor clamming, and I'm currently on a mission to learn how to fish.
I know nursing school can be intense, so I'm here to help make your experience smoother. Whether you need someone to talk through program questions, want to swap outdoor adventure stories, or just need a friendly face - don't hesitate to reach out!

Hola, my name is Nikkilynn, and I am an 18-year Army vet and mother of 3. My boyfriend and I also have a furbaby named Soft Taco; we call her Softie for short. I am the current Fundraising Chair for Delta, and I want to share more about myself. I was born in Seattle and love all the Seattle sports teams, but I am a huge Dallas Cowboys fan. I am multiracial; Puerto Rican on my mom's side and Black and Creole on my dad's side. My hobbies include spending time with my kiddos and my family, dancing, singing, playing guitar and drums with the kids, video games, playing volleyball, softball, and basketball, and cooking. One of my guilty pleasures is that I love listening to a true crime podcast called Crime Junkie. I’m excited to plan fun and meaningful events, raise support for causes that matter, and help our club grow and thrive together.
This could be you ;)

Hello! I am a Junior 2 nursing student from Bridgeport in Eastern Washington and I am super excited to be a part of Delta Iota Chi's mission to serve the community and foster excellent nursing care. I am interested in having a career in labor and delivery and humanitarian nursing and am especially interested in the missions of Mercy Ships and Doctors without Borders. Outside of classes, I love to read, swim, travel, crochet, and test vintage recipes. I am honored to be a part of this year's board and can't wait to see how we'll impact PLU and our community for the better!
