Hi! My name is Erika Ventura Castellon and I am a 4th year nursing PhD student. I attended the University of Kentucky’s College of Nursing for my undergraduate degree. I am currently a Graduate Research Assistant and am the DSO-GSA Rep. Before starting the PhD program, I served as President of the local DC Metro Chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses. This organization was instrumental in my decision to return to school. In my role as a USGA member, I hope to connect fellow graduate nursing students to campus-wide resources and advocate for initiatives to improve the overall student experience at UMB.
