dedicated mentorship, fostering the enhancement of their skills, building their confidence, and supporting their career development.

By the age of 13, I had set my sights on becoming an OBGYN. However, I faced the challenge of not seeing many people of color in that profession, which made my dream feel distant. I often reflected on my mother's journey; she worked tirelessly as a CNA to support my sisters and me, and I admired her determination, her struggles ignited a fire within me. I learned about the various levels of nursing and the commitment required to succeed. Her journey became my motivation to push forward, to honor her sacrifices by striving for my goals with tenacity and resilience. My ambition is fueled by a desire to break barriers and represent diversity in the healthcare field, particularly in OBGYN. I am committed to not only fulfilling my dream but also paving the way for others who may feel underrepresented in this profession. My journey is one of inspiration, perseverance, and a deep commitment to my dreams. I aim to contribute to a more diverse and inclusive field, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to pursue their passions in medicine.
