LaVera wanted to make an impact in her tribal community and in supporting her family.

She started her journey by becoming a certified nursing assistant (CNA), but wanted more for her family and her career.

While juggling her career as a CNA she decided to pursue her practical nursing certificate.

Despite not being accepted into the program after applying she continued to work hard and persevere and was accepted into the program.

With the support of her husband and family she was able to complete both the practical nursing certificate and associate of applied science in nursing programs at USU Blanding.

As a first-generation college graduate she hopes to inspire her community to pursue their dreams.

She now works as a Registered Nurse at Logan Regional Hospital while her husband completes his degree.

Since 1888, Utah State University established itself as a premier research institution known through the world for its intellectual and technological leadership. USU’s main campus is in Logan, with an additional 33 campuses and centers throughout Utah. As long as WiFi is available, you can be an Aggie anywhere through USU Online.

USU competes in 16 NCAA Division I sports. Our student section, the HURD, is one of the loudest and rowdiest in the nation. The diehards become True Aggies by kissing on the block “A” on homecoming. Adrenaline junkies sled down Old Main hill between classes or rock climb outside. And everyone eats Aggie Ice Cream - even with a foot of snow on the ground.
