Her diagnosis began a passion for oncology, where she experienced the selfless acts of love and humility from hospitals and non-profits that brought comfort and peace. While in college and undergoing treatment, she earned her BA in Public Relations. In remission, she completed an MA in Communication Management at the University of Southern California, focusing on oncology and healthcare communications, where she became inspired by the foundation.
