​Perseverance, dedication to excellence, and persistence perfectly describe Shannon’s path through nursing school. Through her general classes, and starting into her nursing courses at Fortis College, she met several obstacles. In the summer of 2017, a waterskiing accident changed the course of Shannon’s life and nursing career. Despite her devastating injuries, Shannon has persevered, persisted, and proved her dedication to excellence while looking forward, aiming for nothing less than her ultimate goal of becoming a pediatric nurse, and making a difference in her patients’ lives.

Gloria Alfred | Fortis College

Picture
​My name is Gloria. I am a veteran who served my country in the United States Army for 8 years. I am currently enrolled in the Surgical Technologist Program here at Fortis College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Furthering my education is important to me. I feel that I have a lot of drive left in me and I want to use it to help save lives. 

On top of being a veteran, I am a mother of four beautiful little girls that look up to me. I want my daughters to see how hard their mom worked to get to where she is. ​
