Words of Wisdom for new faculty: “Challenges alone don’t define you, but rather it is how you respond to challenges that make the difference.”
From the age of five, Dr. Angelica Witcher Walker knew she wanted to be a nurse. Watching the compassionate care that the nurses provided for her father during his three-month hospital stay following a car accident, inspired her to pursue a career dedicated to helping others, a dream that would shape her life and career in healthcare.
