Elizabeth Maynor

Hello! My name is Liz Maynor, I am 29 years old. I am also a very dedicated first-year student enrolled within the nursing program at University College of the Cayman Islands. In most societies, there is a strong push for young adults to know their dream career and to instantly go straight into college. I tried this route; however, around the age of 25 I realized that I needed a change in direction. Through life experiences, traveling, and working as a Scuba Diving Instructor, I have been introduced to some medical incidents and grew a passion to become more knowledgeable in the field of medicine. Two years ago I had started taking online classes towards a nursing degree, which allowed myself to finally enroll in the nursing program at UCCI this past fall (2019), as a part-time student. My plan was to continue to work full-time for the busy season this year while still studying, but due to COVID-19 my plan is no longer attainable. My goal is to find some help financially so I can continue to pursue my dreams in completing the nursing program here, hoping to then pay it back to the community as a motivated nurse!

Luckily, I am still currently enrolled at UCCI due to a generous scholarship, covering all costs for my summer classes. My hopes are to use this extra time to keep fighting for new opportunities, seeking all options, in order to continue my education and follow my passion.

If interested, below you will see a few essays as well as some more personal information ranging from school life to work life. COVID-19 has proven that there truly is a nursing shortage worldwide, and with this financial support I hope to help Grand Cayman by becoming another upcoming, trusted, Registered Nurse, ready to help those in need on this welcoming island.
