Jaclyn is a testament to the values the DAISY Award represents.
Jaclyn exemplifies the qualities of a compassionate, dedicated, and selfless nursing student who consistently goes above and beyond. The commitment to her own professional growth is inspiring, but what truly sets her apart is her generosity and unwavering team spirit. She is always willing to lend a helping hand, encourage a peer, or offer insight to those who may be struggling.

In addition to her academic excellence, Jaclyn has served as a leader in various roles. As president of Alpha Delta Nu (ADN), she has communicated effectively with members, worked collaboratively with advisors and board members, and found meaningful opportunities for service such as organizing a Valentine's Day event through AARP where ADN members visited a nursing home to deliver roses and engage with residents, spreading warmth and kindness. Jaclyn also served on the Student Nurses Association as a committee member for the Events Committee, actively coordinating various volunteer opportunities.

Jaclyn has also demonstrated strong leadership and mentorship as a peer tutor for students in the nursing program. Many of our new students look up to her for guidance and study tips. In every role, she brings professionalism, respect, and a deep sense of responsibility. Her efforts do not go unnoticed—she is a true role model for her peers.

Jaclyn is a testament to the values the DAISY Award represents. Her impact extends far beyond the classroom or clinical setting.
