Every Story Matters
“At a very young age, when I was asked, ‘What would you like to be when you grow up?’ my answer was always ‘To help people in the medical field.’ My mother passed away when I was a teenager and I took care of my younger brother. It was such a rewarding experience and that reinforced my desire to become a pediatric nurse and bring the same care to other children in need.”
“I’ve been in the mental health field coming up on 15 years and I’ve worked with a variety of patient populations but I think there’s something special about working with kids. They’re at a pivotal and vulnerable point in their life where you can really make a huge impact.”

In the fourth grade, I shadowed my hematologist and decided that I wanted to become a pediatric hematologist/oncologist. Hemophilia has shaped my life. I want to pay it forward to the next generation of children with bleeding disorders.”
