My name is Christhel Clerveaux and I am from North Miami, Florida. I am currently a Junior at Florida State University double majoring in public health and family and child sciences. I have a passion for overall health and wellness education. In the near future, I plan on attending nursing school and ultimately getting my doctorate degree in hopes of becoming an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. One fun fact about myself is that I love horror movies but any form of Chucky movies is off-limits.
