Aim small miss small @saybreen Some people get to see you cross the finish line… but the really special ones are the people who were there for the entire journey. 🥹🎀⚓️
Sarah, you have been there through SO much of this Navy journey — even when I was crying on the phone 
Having you there to watch me graduate from Officer Development School meant more to me than I could ever put into words. 🥹 You didn’t just show up for the big moment — you supported me through all the little moments it took to get here. You believed in me, listened to me, encouraged me, celebrated every little win, and reminded me that this dream was worth chasing even when it felt like it was taking FOREVER. 💕
There is something so incredibly special about looking out on one of the biggest days of your life and seeing someone you love standing there who KNOWS what it took to get you there. 😭💙
Thank you for loving me, supporting me, cheering me on, and traveling all the way to be there when I officially became an ODS graduate and stepped into this next chapter as a Navy Officer and Navy Nurse. ⚓️🩺🇺🇸
I will never forget that you were part of this chapter with me. From the “maybe someday” conversations to actually watching me do it… WHAT A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT. 🥹✨
I love you so much, bestie. Thank you for always being in my corner. 🎀💙⚓️
WE DID IT!!! Navy Nurse bestie era officially activated. 🥹🩺⚓️🇺🇸✨ by @cupcake.rn

WE DID IT!!! 🥹🎀⚓️🇺🇸 thank you to @ntagmiami  and my bomb med recruiter @_katyeliza_  for making this a reality and GEORGE
Today I officially graduate from Officer Development School, and my heart is SO full. 🥹💙
I came to ODS knowing I was here to learn how to become a Naval Officer, but I’m leaving with so much more than I ever expected. I learned about leadership, resilience, discipline, teamwork, accountability, and what it truly means to serve—but I also laughed until my stomach hurt, made memories I’ll never forget, and somehow found the most incredible people along the way. ✨
To the friends who became family somewhere between the early mornings, long days, inspections, marching, studying, struggling, celebrating, and asking ourselves approximately 47 times a day what was happening 😂—I am SO thankful for you. There’s something really special about going through an experience like this together, and I’ll forever be grateful our paths crossed here. 💙⚓️
To our Class Officers and RDCs—thank you for challenging us, teaching us, pushing us to be better, and showing us what leadership in the United States Navy looks like. Every lesson and every standard you held us to helped shape the officers graduating today. 🫡💙
And then there’s the part that still makes me emotional…
I’m a United States Navy Officer.
AND A NAVY NURSE. 🥹⚓️🩺🇺🇸
LIKE… ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! 😭
Getting to combine the career I love so deeply with the opportunity to serve my country is something I will never take for granted. Nursing has given me purpose for so many years, and now I get to carry that purpose into the Navy—caring for our Sailors, Marines, service members, and their families while wearing this uniform.
There were moments when getting here felt so far away. So many unknowns, so much waiting, and so many times I just had to trust that the next step would eventually reveal itself.
And now here I am. 🥹
Commissioned.
Navy Nurse.
Naval Officer.
ODS GRADUATE!!! 🎓⚓️🩺🇺🇸✨
I am proud, humbled, ridiculously grateful, and SO excited for whatever comes next. Thank you to everyone who made this chapter one I’ll never forget.
WING 2 — SECOND TO NONE!!! 💙⚓️

Bye Sluts ⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️How do you say “see you later” to a place that became part of who you are? 🥹🤍
I knew leaving for the Navy would mean leaving people I love, but I wasn’t prepared for how much my heart would ache leaving my Trauma ICU family.
There’s something about doing this work together—the impossible shifts, the miracles, the losses, the 3am delirium and laughing until we cry—that turns coworkers into family.
Alexis, Nina & Sarah, thank you for being my people through all of it. And my little babies Jill, James, Michael & Holly 😭—watching you grow into the nurses you are has made me so ridiculously proud.
Christine, Meribeth, Jake W. (who went off to start his own Air Force adventure 🥹), and every single person who has taught me, trusted me, laughed with me and poured into me—you’ve impacted me more than you probably know.
I came here knowing how to be a feral rat trauma ER nurse, but you all helped shape the feral rat trauma ICU nurse I became. And I’ll carry a little piece of this Trauma ICU—taxidermy rat porn, and all of you—into every room I walk into for the rest of my career.
I love you guys more than I can put into words. 🤍 
Trauma ICU forever… I’m just temporarily reporting for duty somewhere else. 🫡⚓️ and I know there are so many more of you!!!! Send pics and tag me of our memories ❤️❤️⚓️ by @cupcake.rn

First sappy post of many: I’m not crying, you’re crying. 🥹
I think one of the strangest parts about chasing a dream is realizing that getting everything you prayed for still means having to leave pieces of your heart behind.
These humans. 🥹 My people. My safe places. The ones who have laughed with me, hyped me up, listened to every unhinged thought, reminded me who I am, and somehow made ordinary little pieces of life feel like home.
I am SO excited for this next chapter and so unbelievably grateful that I get to become the Elle Woods of the Navy but my heart absolutely aches knowing I have to leave the people who made this chapter so beautiful.
Tim, Leah, Earnest, India ( and so many more ) I hope you know how deeply I love you and how much of you I’m taking with me. There are friendships that become part of the architecture of who you are, and you are those people for me ❤️
So I’m not saying goodbye because absolutely not, grosssssss. 😂 I’m just going away for a little while to do something really big and really cool and really beautiful.
And then I’m coming home to my best friends. 🥹⚓️
Turns out home was never really a place anyway. It was you guys.
Okay BYE because now I actually am crying. 😭🤍⚓️ and @tnttank  thanks for making me believe in myself again (and a lean bean) - can’t wait to wear merch as a mascot !!!! by @cupcake.rn
