Three cheers for PC alumni

New England Patriots’ cheerleader Jennifer Pinto ’15 is working diligently toward a career in nursing.

Jennifer Pinto ’15 had a great view of Super Bowl LI in Houston as a New England Patriots cheerleader. Pinto, who was a health policy and management major and a member of the PC Dance Team, is studying to become a nurse practitioner at MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston.

She’s not the only Patriots cheerleader to pursue a healthcare career after leaving Providence College. Brianna Muñoz ’12, a double major in biology and chemistry and a dance minor, was a cheerleader as a senior. After graduating with a doctorate from the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine in 2016, she entered a combined pediatric dentistry residency/master of public health program at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.
