Global Initiatives Director - Gabriel Velasco

Hello everyone! My name is Gabriel Velasco (he/him/his), and I am one of the Global Initiatives Directors! I am so glad to be elected into this position, and I am extremely excited to be serving this community. Outside of SNA, I am an active member of Andrés Bonifacio Samahan, and I am interested in reporting both my culture and other cultures to our community! Currently, I do not know what type of nurse I want to become because I have not had that much clinical experience, however I did aspire to be a nurse anesthetist when I first entered the program. In my free time I love playing music and basketball. They both give me a lot of joy and have helped me get through tough times. I also love watching sunsets and beach days. I have never felt more calm in my life than when I watch a good sunset, and some of my best days have been beach days with friends. Please reach out if you ever have any questions about anything, and I can’t wait to meet you!
