Born at Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH), Priscilla dreamed of giving back by working there someday and strived to overcome economic and academic challenges to graduate from ConVal High School. She completed an internship at MCH while in school and worked part-time at Shaws while attending New Hampshire Technical Institute (NHTI). Because of her good performance at NHTI and the fact that CVCSF had chosen her as a student with exceptional potential, MCH matched her scholarship for the balance of the two-year program. Then, after passing her boards for her R.N. license on the first try, Priscilla was offered a full-time job by the hospital that brought her into the world. She began work there on July 13th, 2009.

 

Priscilla’s scholarship was co-sponsored by the Monadnock Rotary Club.  In accepting her invitation to appear at Rotary, Priscilla wrote, "I feel that the ConVal Dollars for Scholars organization played an enormous role in my success and I am so grateful for all the financial assistance as well as support and encouragement I have received.... It would be a pleasure to give back to the community that has done so much for me."
