Hello CNSA Constituents,

My name is Kyle Navarro and I am honored and humbled to be serving as your 2016-2017 CNSA State Board President. As of this writing I am currently a fifth-year student at California State University, East Bay (CSUEB) - Hayward’s Nursing Program in my 7th of 8 quarters with an expected graduation/pinning date of March 2017.

Throughout the last five years I have had the honor of wearing many different leadership hats and garnered a well-rounded amount of leadership experience. Some of them include being the co-founder/co-president of the CSUEB Pre-Nursing Club, the president of the East Bay Student Nurses’ Association, and the vice president of CSUEB’s very own public health clinic: The Initiative for Community Wellness. In each of those roles I brought forward my own unique passion to create, innovate, and strive alongside these organizations and I fully intend to apply every ounce of experience I have been privileged to obtain with this role as CNSA President.

This is going to be an amazing year and it all starts with connecting with one another, let us all maintain an open line of communication so we can create an environment to continue fostering our fellow nursing student leaders!
