The American Indian Student Services’ #AISSLobo highlights students from across the UNM community on the AISS social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat.
Huge props to #AISSLobo Abrianna Notah-Johnson (Diné), a nursing major & sophomore who is making huge strides in her academic journey! 🎉 Abrianna was admitted into the #UNM College of Nursing Freshman Direct-Entry Program and plans to graduate in 2027 with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. 🩺 Her dream? To work in the UNMH Emergency Room and later become a Family Nurse Practitioner, focusing on health disparities like diabetes on the Navajo Nation. She’s also determined to open her own private practice in her hometown, Gallup, NM! Her journey has been nothing short of impressive: She earned the Chief Manuelito Scholarship, took dual credit courses with NTU and Diné College, and participated in the 2023 AISB Fall Experience. Abrianna is also part of the UNM Undergraduate Student Scholars Program; works as a student employee with the Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; and serves as an AISS Ambassador. In high school, she conducted a case study on the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of the Navajo Nation. She’s also volunteered with the Presbyterian Child Life and St. Joseph’s Shelter & Soup Kitchen. 💙 On campus, Abrianna is the president of the UNM Softball Club and a member of the KIVA and Diné Clubs. She credits her hardworking parents for their support and inspiration, saying their encouragement keeps her going. 💪🏽 When she’s not hitting the books, Abrianna enjoys shopping, listening to SZA, spending time with her dogs, watching Disney movies, and Pokémon card hunting! To stay connected with her hometown, she attends the Gallup Inter-Tribal Ceremonial, where she enjoys the dances, parade, and getting some delicious sourdough bread at the flea market. Abrianna’s advice to fellow Lobos: "All the hard work you put in now will pay off later!" 🐺💫 #NativeExcellence #NativesInHigherEd
