A humanitarian at heart, Ashley found her calling in nursing through long-term care—where small acts of kindness make the biggest impact. Her passion for advocacy, compassion, and being a steady presence during life’s most vulnerable moments has inspired her journey to become an LPN.

💚 The future of nursing is bright with leaders like Ashley.

🌟 Sunday Spotlight 🌟
Today we are honored to introduce Dasia Anderson, Huntington University — Class of 2026.

Dasia will be the first nurse in her family, a milestone she carries with deep pride and purpose. Her passion for nursing was shaped by her younger sister, who lives with Sickle Cell Anemia and has bravely undergone a splenectomy, adenoidectomy, and two full hip replacements — becoming the youngest person in Fort Wayne to receive that procedure.

Through every hurdle, Dasia watched nurses show compassion, skill, and unwavering support. Their care inspired her, and now she is determined to offer that same level of dignity, comfort, and strength to others.

“I don’t see many nurses of color. I am determined to break that barrier.”

Dasia, your commitment to representation, healing, and excellence is exactly why we do what we do. We are proud to support your journey and cannot wait to see the lives you touch and the future you help shape in nursing. 💚✨

Please join us in celebrating Dasia Anderson — a future nurse, a pathbreaker, and a powerful reminder that representation matters.

Grateful beyond words.
For our board.
For our sponsors.
For our attendees.
And especially for the nurses — here in Fort Wayne and across the world.
You are the reason we do this. 💚
