MGSU graduate leaves home country to pursue nursing career Gabriella Taunton-Carcamo left Honduras at 17-years-old speaking little to no English and worked her way to graduating with a nursing degree at Middle Georgia State. Author: Pepper Baker Updated: 8:01 AM EDT May 20, 2021 MACON, Ga. — Graduate nurse Gabriella Taunton-Carcamo came a long way to Central Georgia so she could become a nurse. "I moved to the United States back in 2013 beginning of the year, from Honduras and I pretty much just wanted to have a better chance at life," Carcamo said. At 17-years-old, she left her mom in Honduras as a high school junior to move in with her dad and step-mom in Warner Robins, and it didn't start off easy.
