Legislative Director - Tara King
Hello! My name is Tara King and I'm thrilled to be serving as Legislative DIrector for my junior year. I joined SNA my freshman year to connect with other freshman nursing students, as well as gain wisdom from older, more experienced nursing students. In my free time, I love spending time with my family, friends, and kitten, as well as baking and reading. As Legislative DIrector, I hope to advocate for nursing students' views and help create positive change for our future patients. After graduation, I hope to be a trauma or psychiatric nurse. I's so excited about the upcoming year with you all, and please feel free to contact me any time!
