ARUSHI KALAM

Hiii! My name is Arushi and I’m currently a Track 2 Sophomore. My home town is Corona in California. I’m honored to be serving on the SNA board as a Community Health Co-director. I hope we can bond together and further our nursing skills together. My goal is to bring more events and opportunities for you all so that we can learn more as a community! 

Currently my interests within Nursing lie within Labor & Delivery, though I think my plans for the future will solidify as I continue into clinicals. I want to help people going through labor as it’s such an emotional and physically vulnerable time. I became more interested in Nursing through a personal experience and since then, I want to be a helping aid to those who are going through a hard patch. 

Aside from my academic side, I have been indulging in different hobbies and crafts. I love crocheting and making earrings. I also enjoy working out at the gym and swimming. Although it’s a bit random, one of my favorite things to do is to just sit in the sun and take in my surroundings. It’s so peaceful to just hear everything that’s happening while taking in the warmth.

I hope that I can get closer to all of you and that we can make more memories together. Please reach out to me or my Co-director, Emily because we would love to make more nursing friends :)

Hello! My name is Emily Pehl and I am a Track 1 Sophomore. I am originally from the Sacramento/Bay Area and I am so excited to spend these next few years furthering my education in San Diego. I am extremely proud to be serving our SDSU nursing students alongside countless other hard working board members.

Fun facts about me:
  • I LOVE seals (La Jolla is a great spot to go see them!)
  • I played badminton all four years of high school
  • I have an unhealthy addiction to Rilakkuma 
  • I still have no clue about what I want to specialize in
  • Tame Impala is my favorite artist and I will do whatever it takes to go see them

I am looking forward to all that my Co Director Arushi and I can accomplish for our SDSU nursing community!
