Queerology: A Podcast on Belief and Being
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
Andrea Dalzell was told she could never become a nurse because of her disability. Never tell Andrea what she can and can’t do.
At five years old, Andrea was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis (TM), a neurological condition that causes paralysis. However, growing up using a wheelchair didn't stop her from pursuing a career in health care.
Today, Andrea is a registered nurse, disability advocate, and speaker. She studied biology and neuroscience in college to earn an associate’s and bachelor’s degree in nursing (RN, BSN).
As the first registered nurse who uses a wheelchair in New York City, thousands of clinicians, caregivers, and wheelchair users follow Andrea’s career pursuits as The Seated Nurse on Instagram.
Unhidden and unapologetically, Andrea is a queer, black woman with a disability.
