Commencement 2012 Student Profile and Video of Talent Development Alumna Reudi Correia.
Reudi Correia said she has always had “the caring gene,” and she proved it by taking care of her family in good times and bad while she was growing up. As a nursing student at the University of Rhode Island, she continued in that role as an ambassador for prospective students and their parents, welcoming them to the University and sharing her experiences so they would feel comfortable in the next stage of their lives.
As the North Providence resident prepares to graduate on May 20, she looks forward to caring for people and helping them avoid illnesses for many years to come.
“In high school I volunteered at Rhode Island Hospital, and I really liked watching the nurses,” said Correia. “They were so knowledgeable and respected, and I could ask them anything. I knew that’s what I wanted to be.”
