Meet Brianna B.
Respiratory Care graduate
My kids. They are my main motivation.
A mother of three young children and the recipient of the Respiratory Care Class of 2024 Student of the Year Award, Brianna has become an expert in juggling work, family and school. Her days start early and they end late, but, she says, the hard work has paid off.
After a half dozen years working as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), in 2022 Brianna decided to move into the respiratory care field. She was accepted into Hudson Valley’s two-year associate degree program for fall 2022, but the birth of her daughter not long before her first semester threatened to derail her plans. It didn’t. With hard work and the help of her family, Brianna excelled in the rigorous Respiratory Care program and is graduating with honors.
