About alliegem

I'm a 26 year old two-time college grad! I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology from High Point University (2011) and just graduated from VCU's accelerated BSN program (2015). In between the degrees, I worked in ophthalmology for a group of retina specialists in Northern Virginia. I am grateful for the time spent there as it solidified which area of healthcare I wanted to pursue. I have recently accepted a new-grad position at VCU Health and cannot wait to begin this new journey!
