From a young age...
I carried a heartfelt desire to help those in need, leading me to aspire to become a surgeon. As life unfolded, my dreams drew near reality through my role as a surgical technologist, supporting surgeons in the operating room. While I still miss the vibrant OR life, this experience helped me discover my true passion for preventive medicine. It fueled my realization that I could actively prevent people from needing surgery. With newfound courage, I ventured into naturopathic medical school, determined to follow where God was leading me.
