2026-27 District Student Ambassador

A graduate of Fond du Lac High School, Benzel began taking college courses early through Start College Now and dual credit opportunities. These courses helped her graduate early, and she chose Moraine Park for its hands-on nursing program and ability to start her career close to home.

Benzel’s passion for health care is rooted in her own experience with chronic pain and family health challenges, allowing her to empathize deeply with her patients. Her clinical at Harbor Haven in Fond du Lac confirmed her desire to pursue direct patient care, where she can support others during difficult times.
