Aravind Shivasami

I have had a rewarding and fulfilling career as a medical scientist and a successful entrepreneur in the fast-food industry; I am driven to transition into nursing due to my passion for holistic health care and direct patient interaction. I am excited to taken on a nursing career that advocates on behalf of the patients, while providing compassionate care that makes a meaningful difference in the life of others.
