WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT BEING A PART OF SCOPE?

I love that SCOPE gives me the opportunity to serve the local community and make direct, positive impacts in the lives of others. 

WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRECIOUS MEMORY FROM SCOPE?

My most precious memory from SCOPE was when I was interacting with a young patient and their mother during one of my PHA shifts. The patient was very happy during their check-up, and they and their mother were very pleasant to interact with. When I began to talk to them to assess their needs, I learned that the patient's mother was suffering from stage 4 breast cancer and only had a short time to live. She told me that she taught her child to live happily, regardless of whether or not she would be present in their life. That experience was very meaningful because I saw how they made the most of what they had despite the difficulties they were facing. They have inspired me to live my life to its fullest.

FUN FACT!

I am a black belt!
