My original plan was to research marine mammals but I was working at a Hematology and Oncology private practice and it confirmed how much I enjoy helping patients. From assisting my family members to my own personal experiences, I believe patients deserve to be treated with care. I recharge after work by training for a marathon, bouldering, hiking, or surfing.
