Guest Bio:
My name is Rozela but mostly everyone knows me by Ro. I’m from Columbus GA & moved to ATL, GA after graduating high school. I went to Georgia State for my BSN and now I am back again for more. I will be completing my PMHNP degree next year and hope to do many great things with it. Outside of bedside, I host nursing events. I curated the ATL Nurse Expo to connect ATLanta nurses, techs, and nursing students for fellowship, new partnerships/connections, and to shop with local medical vendors. I’m currently developing a non-profit for this to fall under along with other events and drives that I have planned. I also certify individuals in ACLS & BLS, which I’m currently taking a break from.
Lastly, because I’m a comedian at heart (in my opinion), I make funny videos on TikTok & Instagram.
