Brianna Ramirez Ardon
Richmond, VA

I chose Old Dominion University primarily because of its  nursing program. The university’s great nursing reputation made ODU an ideal fit for me as I pursue my passion for nursing. Additionally, I really liked the distance between my hometown and here. It’s far enough to give me the independence I was looking for, but close enough that I can easily visit home when I need to.

Outside of school, I enjoy reading, attending concerts, and getting creative with scrapbooking. I also have a passion for makeup and skincare, I’m always exploring new products and techniques to better my routine. Additionally, I value quality time with my friends, family, and boyfriend, whether it’s traveling to new destinations, discovering unique foods, or simply enjoying each other’s company. I love embracing new experiences and finding joy in the little things that make life more interesting.
