Meet a University of Texas at Tyler Graduate

Teleshia Coleman"My life has new dimensions now. I promote a positive image of nursing by allowing my passion for nursing to be expressed through the care I provide everyday. If I never receive anything else in this life, I have already been rewarded.

Dr. Danita Alfred, Dr. Gayle Vamell, Dr. Mahoney, and Mrs. Bell have impacted my life in so many ways, and I will always be grateful for the opportunities made possible. The field of nursing has opened doors in my life that I never imagined possible. I have pushed myself above and beyond, explored new cultures, and learned how great it is to be a nurse."
