I am truly so grateful for the opportunity to work in an ever evolving field, that allows me to ask questions, seek knowledge, and learn every single day.

What is the best part about working in the field of STEM?

Having the opportunity to educate others. I believe the doctor of the future is the patient. I am so passionate about educating others on how to take their health into their own hands.
