My mom, Robin, was sunshine personified. Warm, bright, and always there, even when you couldn't see her. She cherished her travels and vacations, and was the happiest when her loved ones joined her (especially on a beach). In March 2022, she passed away suddenly and tragically at the hospital where I worked. As a single mom, she worked tirelessly to ensure I had an education and career I was proud of. This scholarship is a chance to honor my mom and all the sacrifices she made. Through your stories, the memories of my mom grow stronger and bring a bit of sun into my life.
