Student Success
“It was hard to make the transition to being a student again, and be a mother and wife too, but it was well worth it. I would do it again in a heartbeat. I have never enjoyed anything so much in my life, and my family benefits from the stability this job provides. It is an amazing feeling to be there when the doctor successfully repairs a person’s heart and the person gets to carry on and live a better life because of it.”
