Billy Rosa

At age 23, William "Billy" Rosa was a recent NYU Tisch theatre grad who had already performed under some of New York’s brightest lights at Radio City Music Hall. When Billy fractured his hip early on in his theatrical career, he didn’t know his injury would set the stage for his next career act.

With an appreciation for the power of patient care, Billy returned to his NYU roots, graduating magna cum laude from the College of Nursing in 2009. After graduating valedictorian from Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing’s master’s program, Billy was ready for his next adventure, which would take him across the globe to Rwanda.
