It was said by Thomas Carlyle that He who has health, has hope; and he who has hope, has everything. It is my passion to bring such hope into the lives of children and families facing illness. I believe health and accessibility to medical and nursing care should not be determined or restricted by one's geographic location, and I value the interplay between children's health and their education, socioeconomic well-being, and simply put, the ability to achieve their full potential and reach for their dreams. I am committed to improving quality of life for children and families facing chronic illness, and driven to help children around the world to not only survive, but also thrive.
