Meet Jenale Alfonso Cruz, a first-generation college student and an alumna of @SFSCPanthers.
When she was 12 years old, Jenale’s father had a cardiac event that sent him to the hospital, where nurses and doctors saved his life.
This experience inspired her to pursue a career saving lives—and now she’s working toward a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology and Cell Science with a minor in Pathogenesis at @UF.
