Commencement 2013 Student Profile of Talent Development Alumna Trystan Del Tufo.
From the moment her little sister was born, Trystan Del Tufo was learning to become a nurse.
“My little sister was born with a serious congenital heart defect requiring three open heart surgeries,” said the former Exeter resident and recent University of Rhode Island graduate, who was around 12 years old at the time. “I really admired the way the nurses took care of her, and I really liked the science of it, learning about what was going on with her heart and how I could help.”
