Francheska Layne Bravo PortraitFrancheska Layne Bravo is a registered nurse working in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and enrolled in Columbia University’s Pediatric Nurse Practitioner’s program. In addition to this, she is working on obtaining a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree.

After graduating from Syracuse University, she worked for a year in a preschool as a teacher’s aide. Shortly after, she enrolled in Columbia University’s School of Nursing and received a Master of Science in Nursing. Although she did not study nursing in Syracuse, her experience in Child and Family Studies (CFS) really fostered her passion for working with children.

Through CFS, she was able to gain many skills that have helped her communicate effectively with children of various ages. “I got the opportunity to really understand the development of a child, which acted as a foundation for my current studies. I am grateful for all that I have learned at Syracuse.” says Francheska.
