Alaina Taylor named LTEC Student of the Month for February

 

[February 16, 2022]   Alaina Taylor, daughter of Tia Taylor and Chris Coyne, was named February Student of the Month for the Health Occupations program at the Lincolnland Technical Education Center.

Alaina is a senior at Lincoln Community High School.

Mrs. Christina Fink, instructor, says that “from day one, Alaina has been an awesome student to have in class. She has demonstrated wonderful time-management and multi-tasking skills by always having her work completed, being prepared for exams, and working well with other students in the classroom and lab setting. We are excited to see how she will excel in clinical rotations with patients in the acute and long-term care settings.

“Alaina has a plan and is being proactive in her efforts to make things happen, which is great to see at her age. I have no doubt she will excel in nursing on the college level. I think it speaks volumes that even during a pandemic and watching how health-care workers, especially nurses, have been hit so hard, her response is to join the team and fight. Any community that she cares for in the future as a nurse will be blessed to have her.”

Alaina is the LCHS Thespian President, and member of the National Honor Society. Alaina was selected to represent LCHS choir at ILMEA honors festival, Leadership roles in band and choir.

Her plans are to attend SIUE to get her BSN.

Afterwards, she would like to continue in either the Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant master’s program.

Alaina received $50 from the Kiwanis Club of Lincoln who sponsors this award.
