Meet Sarah Ali – one of our Casey Family Scholars. Sarah was in our undergrad program from 2004-2008 before joining our graduate program and just this month receiving her Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of Minnesota. What’s more, Sarah has been featured on the cover of Minnesota Nursing magazine! We were so psyched when we found out that we asked her to share her thoughts. This is what she had to say:

“Where I am today can directly connected to those people that stood by me, behind me some days, and even in front of me as they dragged me through the rough points of the education journey. I’ve been blessed with FC2S’ omnipresent mentoring. And with a young family the financial support was so important! Today I have really arrived in more than one way. I am the mother of two beautiful, bubbly little ones and the wife of my best friend forever. I have achieved my lifelong career and educational goals by completing my doctorate, and I have recently accepted a position at Mayo Clinic as a Trauma Nurse Practitioner! So, my FC2S family, I am so very thankful for the perseverance, caring, and even nagging that you’ve bestowed upon me over the years…it HAS REALLY made a DIFFERENCE!”

Thanks Sarah. We’ll save the nagging for the next crop of students now.  ; )
