A Molloy University student studying nursing is credited with saving a woman's life.

It happened in April.

Saige Colleluori was working her shift at Riko's Pizza in Levittown.

That's when she saw a customer who was walking out, drop to the ground.

Saige says she ran outside to ask if everything was OK.

She was told it was, but moments later, someone ran back in the restaurant saying that the woman wasn't breathing.

Saige says she checked for a pulse, but there wasn't one.

That's when she started compressions.

“Once I did a full round of compressions, I slowly felt her pulse threading back to me and then after two minutes, she started talking again," Colleluori tells News 12.

Saige is a sophomore at Molloy University.

She's from Bethpage and says its always been her dream to be a nurse.
