It has been so special watching one of our former research assistants grow into an incredible RN…and now begin her next chapter as a pediatric nurse in Tampa! 👩🏻‍⚕️👶🏻

If you had the pleasure of meeting Carolyn through our program, you know just how kind she is - constantly lighting up a room with her warm smile and caring nature. So grateful we had the chance to catch up over dinner and celebrate this exciting milestone. Our team wishes her nothing but success and happiness as she starts this new adventure 💕
