Gaby Jaime-Montez

I am nominating Gaby because she is compassionate, determined, and supportive of her fellow students. Standing in the face of a pandemic, Gaby felt compelled to address the psychosocial effects of isolation COVID patients experienced. Gaby pioneered the COVID Card Program, which involved inviting students to write words of encouragement and letters of well wishes to be distributed to patients hospitalized with COVID. Gaby's commitment to her patients also extends to the clinical setting, where she advocates for her patients' health in all aspects. Despite her own personal setbacks, Gaby is always willing to help her fellow classmates professionally, academically, and personally. Without a doubt, Gaby will positively contribute to the nursing profession.
