My name is Darlene Reynoso, a first-year MECN student in the UCLA School of Nursing. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I moved to Utah and earned a Bachelor's in Exercise Science from Brigham Young University. After moving back to Los Angeles, I became a Certified Nursing Assistant and Doula. My goal is to become a Certified Nurse Midwife and help address healthcare disparities in low-income communities.
