"I am very passionate about the pediatric patient population. Kids are strong and resilient but are not always given the best start when it comes to their health. Infant malnutrition, childhood cancers, and environmental pollutants' health impacts are felt uniquely by this population. I would want to work in research and clinics that address this issue as a Nurse Practitioner."
