“If you really knew me, you’d know that my life experiences have shaped who I am today and inspired my passion for helping others heal.

Years ago, I suffered a serious head injury in a car accident while raising three children, working full-time, and pursuing my college degree. My recovery taught me that it truly takes a village. Through my doctor’s care, the love and support of family and friends, the generosity of coworkers, and the encouragement of professors, each contributed something meaningful to my healing.

Their support, combined with my own determination, gave me the strength to persevere. I will always be grateful for the village that helped me move forward and inspired my compassion for others.”
