Beatrice Farias - Bio & Photo
Beatrice Farias is a BSN graduate of the Miami Dade College Benjamin Leon School of Nursing and a Baptist Health Scholar. As a second-generation Mexican-American, she faced many challenges. One of those challenges was constantly relocating to different states as her parents were contractors in agriculture during her childhood. As one of the first members of her family to attend college, she faced another challenge: figuring out how to enroll and pay tuition for her college degree. Such challenges proved to be no excuse; nothing stopped her from obtaining a higher education. She pursued her longtime dream of becoming a nurse. Now, Beatrice hopes to continue to further her education by obtaining a Master’s degree in nursing and giving back to her community.
