Meet our Beckley & Keyser Ambassadors

Lyndsey Maiolo, of Beckley, wanted to become an ambassador to become more involved at the Beckley Campus and in the community.

"I chose nursing as my career path because I have a desire to help people and take care of them when they are in their most vulnerable state and hardest days of their lives," Maiolo said.

Kelsea Daniels, of Fairdale, wanted to become an ambassador to grow as a student, as well as to support prospective nursing students.

"For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a nurse," Daniels said. "I feel as though that is my true calling in life. I love being able to help people however I can in their darkest hours."

After graduating, Daniels hopes to care for mothers and babies and eventually become a midwife.

Emily Kuykendall, of Moorefield, is a student in the BSN program on the Keyser Campus. Her anticipated graduation date is May 2026.

"I applied to the nursing program because I wanted a career that would help me care for others but also allow me to experience a variety of specialties if I desired," Kuykendall said. "I love the lateral movement that a nursing career can provide because you are not stuck in one place!"

She wanted to become an ambassador because she felt she had a lot of knowledge and experience that she could pass along to other students.

"I also feel that I will be able to make a difference in the lives of current and future nursing students by providing them with a resource that can answer their questions about the program, working, commuting, etc."

She is a member of the Honors College, the HSC Student Advisory Board, the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, and a SOAR peer coach for 2024-25.
