This week's Grand Valley Power Student of the Week wants to dedicate her life to helping others through a career in the medical field.

Katie Hockett is a senior at Plateau Valley in Collbran. Katie keeps herself busy playing basketball and volleyball, plus she is the Student Council's Vice President and leader of a school bible study.

After college, Katie is looking forward taking her skills to other counties to benefit those in need.

Katie says, "Hopefully as a missionary nurse I'll be able to help people and serve them at the lowest point of their lives, there are a lot of really sick people to help and also maybe share my faith in the meantime."

Katie plans to attend Oklahoma Baptist University in the fall.
