She saw the care and attention they gave and the impact they were making and knew she wanted to do exactly that. That exposure early on gave her this drive and passion in helping others especially the deaf.She not only loves being a patient advocate, but is driven to do the research and put the time in to ensure she is capable of doing that to the best of her ability. She stands up to bring the humanity into it and remind they arent just a number or data they are a person just like me or you. Her flexibility, ability to face a challenge and willingness to take a leap of faith allow to help others in such a successful way.
