Hello, my name is Krystina Woychowski, and I am a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner and the founder of the Woychowski Health Care Scholarship.
My educational journey was made possible, in part, by the generous support I received through scholarships. Those opportunities had a profound impact on my life and allowed me to pursue my education without the financial burden that many students face.
Because I know firsthand how meaningful that support can be, I created the Woychowski Health Care Scholarship to give back to students who are pursuing their own dreams in health care.Â
My educational journey began at Crystal River High School, where I graduated in 2018. After high school, I continued my nursing education at College of Central Florida, earning my Associate Degree in Nursing in 2020 and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing in 2021.
In 2021, I had the opportunity to give back to the school community that helped shape my own journey by launching the Woychowski Health Care Scholarship at my alma mater, Crystal River High School. This year marks the sixth year of the Woychowski Health Care Scholarship, an initiative that has allowed me to support students pursuing careers in healthcare and has become an important part of my commitment to education and mentorship.
My educational journey continued through graduate school, and in 2025, I earned my Doctorate in Nursing from Florida State University. Each step of my education has shaped my passion for nursing, leadership, education, and creating opportunities for the next generation of healthcare professionals.
From graduating high school in 2018 to earning my doctorate in 2025, my journey is a reminder that where you start does not determine where you can go. I hope my story inspires students to pursue their goals, invest in their education, and believe in the possibilities ahead.
