Bio

Hello, my name is Stephanie, and my journey in healthcare has taught me that healing goes far beyond medicine — it’s about compassion, presence, and truly seeing people for who they are. I’ve witnessed how a simple act of kindness or a moment of understanding can bring peace and strength to someone in their most fragile time. Pursuing this calling has required immense sacrifice. I’ve given up time with family, precious moments with loved ones, and even the comfort of my dog — all to devote myself fully to learning how to serve others with skill and heart. It hasn’t been easy, but every challenge reminds me why I’m here: to bring hope, care, and dignity to those who need it most. I am seeking financial support to continue this journey — not just to finish my education, but to keep alive the purpose that drives me: to heal, to advocate, and to make compassion my life’s work.
