— Danna Olvera
Degree program: BSN, Pacific Lutheran University
Scholarship: WSNF Scholarship
Award year: 2026
Danna was first inspired to pursue nursing by the compassion she saw from nurses who cared for her sister with Down Syndrome. She learned from their example that care extends beyond the physical needs of the patient.
Danna hopes to work as a pediatric nurse while pursuing her long-term goal of earning an advanced degree and becoming a nurse educator. She hopes to contribute to nursing practice by building programs that support first-generation students, undocumented students, and adults reentering education. Her dedication and leadership shine through, and we are proud to support Danna with a WSNF 2026 scholarship.
