I have been fighting cancer since October 2024, which ultimately led to me losing my right leg below my knee. This journey has pushed me to want to get out more and really start following the career that I want. My mother, grandmother, and multiple other family members and friends are in the dental field, and I would like to get into it as well. Ultimately hoping to become a dental hygienist in the future.
