Ariana Speight

Future Nurse | Elsevier Student Ambassador | Liberty University

Ariana is a 4th year nursing student in a BSN program in Virginia. She will graduate in May 2022 with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. Ariana is very passionate about labor and delivery and women's health and aspires to work as a Labor & Delivery Nurse to do her part in reducing the maternal mortality rate in women of color.

Ariana was born and raised in Virginia. She wants to be a nurse because she loves the patient care and loving touch a nurse can provide to patients in their most vulnerable moments of their life. She specifically is excited to a labor and delivery nurse one day, to comfort and walk alongside laboring moms, and provide a smooth and healthy entry for new babies into this world.

Having grown up in a very diverse environment, Ariana has seen and experienced diversity in every aspect of her life, and she embodies and embraces diversity in her work, school life, and personal life. She believes everyone should have a seat at the table and is very passionate about being a voice for the voiceless.
