My name is Jessica Baumgart and I am going into my 4th year at UCLA’s Nursing program. I am particularly excited to begin clinicals this year, as I will gain full exposure and experience in a clinical setting. As of now, my dream is to specialize in pediatric cardiology, inspired by my father’s heart condition. I hope to bring healing and comfort to families and children in similar positions like my own and make a difference with the influence that I have. I also desire to use my knowledge traveling to communities within LA and across the globe to offer medical support for those in need. Among other things, in my free time I enjoy hiking, going to the beach, and trying new cuisines with friends and family.
