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.

What Superpower would you most love to have? Pause time. We are always in such a hurry that we forget to live in the moment. Life is short and we need to find ways to enjoy every moment we get!

What would you like to leave behind as your legacy once you are gone? My biggest legacy will live in my son, as a parent we are meant to shape and guide our children. 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.

What does the honor of being named to the 40 Under 40 most mean to you? I have often in life been told that I couldn’t achieve the things I have accomplished. I have taken that as fuel to find ways to be the best version of myself. I have achieved all of these things for myself, and being named in the 40 under 40 reminds me that I can be proud of myself for all I have done and overcome.
