Why Kilroy Chose USF: "I chose USF for the quality of the volleyball program, the strong nursing school and for the opportunity to leave Portland to experience a new town."
Her Nursing Career: "Thankfully, nursing just kind of fell into my lap. I don’t have a ton of nurses in my family and I didn’t grow up knowing it’s what I’d always wanted to do. Honestly, when I was little, I wanted to be a dolphin trainer – go figure. But nursing sounded like a great idea toward the end of high school for a few reasons. First, I had always been better at and more interested in math and science and took anatomy as an elective my senior year."
Life After USF: Upon graduating from USF, Kilroy pursued a career as a Nurse. She is currently working as a Registered Nurse at UCSF Medical Center. Exercise and staying in shape are still a top priority for Kilroy.Â
