I am an oncology/hematology BMT nurse. I am a mom. I am a sister,an auntie,a friend,a colleague,a wife . Cancer has touched each of those parts of my life and has a massive impact everyday in so many others lives . I am riding in honor of one of my sisters that has breast cancer and for all my patients that I see fight so hard to battle their cancer.
As a former buckeye, I attended the nursing program at the Ohio state university college of nursing and was mostly had all my clinical experience at the James cancer hospital. The miracles,love and bravery I witness first hand inspires me to be the best version of myself and want to help contribute to raising funds for research in hopes of finding cures and treatments that save and prolong lives!
