Congratulations Erika Mason! You are AAAN's Student of the Month!


student

Name: Erika Mason
Year in school: Senior
Major: Psychology/African American Studies Pre-Nursing
Hometown: University Park
Quote: My career goal is to become a nurse so I can help others in my community.

1). What do you do in your spare time? Well seeing that I am a mother to a wonderful, energetic 1 year-old boy, I spend as much of my free time with him as I can. They grow up so fast! But when I need and break, I hang out with my closest friends!
2). What is your most memorable moment in your academic career? After having a difficult year after giving birth to my son, I came back and accomplished my goals and received a GPA of 3.25 Fall 2007. My career goal is to be a nurse so I can help others in my community.
3). What career advice would you give undergraduate students? During your college days, find a job that is close to your field of study. Graduating with experience will get you much further than graduating without any at all.
