✨ Alumni Spotlight: Giving Back ✨
We are proud to recognize one of our York College Nurse Anesthesia Program alumni, whose commitment to service extends far beyond the operating room.
During her time in the program, she participated in a medical mission trip to Africa, exemplifying the compassion and dedication that define our profession. Today, she continues that spirit of service as a donor to SOFA.
“I am forever grateful for the SOFA foundation and the donors who invest in students. Because of the support of SOFA, I was able to embark on a global health medical trip in Mauritania, providing anesthesia alongside my classmate and professor. That week providing anesthetic and nursing care to a variety of patients and procedures truly challenged me, humbled me, and allowed me to grow exponentially in my SRNA journey and influenced the way I practice today as a CRNA. I feel incredibly blessed and honored to have had the opportunity to serve the Mauritania people, which wouldn’t have been possible without the SOFA foundation. SOFA’s support for the next generation goes beyond finances. It is a testament to the culture at YCP NAP, and I am excited to now be a part of SOFA to pay it forward for future SRNAs.”
Her generosity helps support opportunities for current and future nurse anesthesia students, ensuring the next generation has the resources they need to succeed.
As these photos from her mission trip remind us, making a difference starts with a willingness to serve others. Join us in thanking this outstanding alumna for her continued support and commitment to giving back 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
