Meet Isabella “Abbey” Esperanza, a sophomore pre-nursing student from Vacaville, CA. She shared that she chose to attend PUC because of its location in Napa Valley and heard that PUC has a really good nursing program. Abbey is passionate about personal growth and wants to be the best person she can be. 

What is your dream job? 

My dream job is to be a nurse practitioner because I want to be able to help the community. 

How does that compare to what you wanted to be when you were younger? 

When I was young, I wanted to be a bunch of things, but I always knew I wanted to be a part of a team. 

What is your favorite thing about being a part of the Pioneers family? 

My favorite thing about PUC is that everyone is so welcoming. The professors and campus staff are all so helpful and want us to do well. The campus is also quiet and calm, which makes it easier to get work done. 

Where is your favorite place in the world?

This is a hard question because each destination provides a different and special experience, but my favorite place is Destin, Florida. I would even live there one day! I love the beaches and vibes I get there. 

If you had to be trapped in a movie for a day, what movie would you choose? 

If I were trapped in a movie for a day, I would choose Mamma Mia because I love the movie and how it is based in the country of Greece. 

What is something you’re passionate about? 

I am passionate about personal growth. I want to become the best person I can be. 

Recommend a place to go in the Bay Area on a weekend 

A place I would recommend visiting is San Francisco because it is a fun city with fun activities such as shopping, good food, beaches, and more. There is always something to do on a night out!
