"In mainstream media, the leaders portrayed within the hospital are normally depicted as the doctors. However, I want to show that nurses can have that role too. Through the leadership program, I strive to be a walking example of how extraordinary and vital it is to have a nurse with a leadership background on the team."
Lorra committed to Seton Hall for its incredible nursing curriculum and well-known reputation within the healthcare community. The nursing faculty was supportive of all their students and showed how adamant they were about wanting to shape the best nurses from their program. Lorra knew that her nursing career would flourish to the best of her ability as a Seton Hall Pirate.
Furthermore, Lorra was competitively selected in the Buccino Leadership Institute. She believes that great leaders never stop trying to better themselves and their skills. This led her to apply to the Institute, hoping to improve her ongoing leadership roles and help others enhance their skills through her newly learned knowledge from the program.
Lorra is currently a member of the Strategic Communications social media team for the Buccino Leadership Institute and helps run the weekly Instagram takeovers. She is also a member of WiSTEM, a student organization dedicated to providing a community and support to women and gender minorities in STEM majors. Looking forward to the future, Lorra hopes to land an internship over the summer and become a Peer Advisor, working side by side with students and helping them flourish throughout their college careers.
