Front of House

Hi, I'm Ta'Varia! I'm a nursing student at Collin College, originally from Melissa, Texas. My journey has been shaped by both academics and athletics — playing volleyball taught me teamwork, resilience, and how to push through challenges, while nursing has fueled my passion for helping others. Whether I'm studying, working with classmates, or on the court, I'm always striving to bring energy, dedication, and heart into everything I do — and that same energy is what you'll feel the moment you walk through our doors.
