Bio

Hi I’m Sara Wahab. I’ve always been the person friends turn to when they’re overwhelmed or scared and that’s what drew me to healthcare. I’m studying to become a radiologic technologist because I want patients to feel safe and cared for, even during their most challenging moments. Volunteering with Families Against Narcotics, the foster care system and the Red Cross taught me that you don’t have to be a doctor to make a difference — sometimes a kind word or steady hand is enough. I believe everyone deserves care, no matter their background. That’s what drives me. I see a future where I’m not only helping people in hospitals, but also continuing to serve my community through advocacy, volunteering and eventually launching projects that support others on a bigger scale.
