What motivates you to give back to your community? Being a nurse is an honor and a gift, I have always wanted to help others and now that I am working in oncology I see everyday how much our patients need and deserve. I give back because I hope one day cancer has a cure.

I hope that Ezra is able to see the impact I have made and want to carry the torch, in his own way of course. As for my work legacy, I hope to be remembered as an advocate, knowledgeable, and compassionate.
