Julie Jones

Julie Jones’ interest in the coursework and collaboration with other students during her First-Year Interest Group (FIG) for Global Health in Nursing led her to pursue a nursing degree. Jones chose the UW–Madison School of Nursing because of the innovation it inspires, and the comprehensive and challenging curriculum that is tailored to students. Her favorite part of being a student ambassador is learning new things about the nursing program and being able to connect with others.

Outside of the nursing school, she is co-chair for the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) student organization. Jones also loves Jumping Around in the third quarter of Badger Football games, exploring the Dane County Farmers’ Market, and watching the sunset at the Memorial Union Terrace with friends.

Jones aspires to become a pediatric nurse practitioner and would advise anyone with similar interests to seek opportunities to gain experience.
