For years, my life has been dedicated to caring for others as a nurse, walking alongside patients through their most vulnerable moments. But everything shifted when I faced a severe health crisis of my own. Falling critically ill and nearly losing my life changed my perspective on everything. Coming back from that edge was a hard-fought battle, but it reinforced just how deeply I care about medicine, healing, and serving my community.

Now, I am blessed with a second chance and I am ready to take the next big step in my calling. I am returning to school to earn my Bachelor's degree, with the ultimate goal of going on to become a Nurse Practitioner so I can care for patients on an even deeper level. Juggling the costs of higher education while rebuilding after a major medical crisis is a mountain to climb, which is why I am humbly asking for your support. Any help to get me across the finish line of my degree means the world to me and brings me one step closer to continuing this journey of healing. Thank you so much for standing by me!
