Hello and welcome to Nurse Kaly!
I’m Nurse Kaly, a passionate advocate for youth empowerment. My journey began at the age of 8 when my family and I immigrated to New York. Growing up in a bustling household with many siblings, I found solace in my own curiosity, often getting lost in my thoughts amidst the chaos. I was a defiant little spirit, and I like to believe that I am still a bit of that today!
Professional Achievements
I hold a B.S. in Health and Exercise Science from Skidmore College and later pursued another bachelor's degree in nursing, becoming a bedside nurse in one of New York's biggest health care systems in 2016. My career has spanned across various specialty areas in the hospital, and I stood on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic, becoming forever changed after witnessing firsthand the devastating unpredictability and fragility of life. This experience on the frontlines altered my life for good and it is this precise experience that drives my mission today.
Values and Mission
Today, my mission is to empower our youth through self-discovery, skills and mindset development, encourage them to dream courageously, and to dare to live authentically. Only through living authentically will we be able to bring our unique strengths to the world.
