What was the defining moment that made you choose your field of study/career path?
I have always imagined myself working in healthcare, but I decided on pediatric oncology after spending a week with the childhood cancer patients during a rotation of an internship I did through Ocshner Health in New Orleans. My heart was touched. I want to be a part of making those children smile while they go through their hardest and most painful times. I believe it will be very rewarding to know that I was able to give those children a reason to continue to fight every day.
