Being raised by parents who were military nurses, Ivia knew from an early age that she wanted to be in the medical field in some capacity. After graduating Felix Varela Senior High School in Miami, Florida, her first job was at a home health agency, took an eight-year dive into the restaurant/hospitality field before going back to a pediatric home health agency in Orlando, Florida. Ivia has her heart and sights set on becoming a pediatric nurse after working closely with a private school for children with autism for the past year.
