I’m an oncology nurse with roots in Sacramento and a heart anchored in my patients, my family, and the fight against cancer. Although the journey began close to home, my mission now carries me to the L.A. Cancer Challenge 5K, where I run with even greater purpose and hope for change. This work is profoundly personal for me—cancer has touched my own family and forever changed my perspective. That experience drives every stride I take, shaping my dedication not just in the hospital, but on every sidewalk and trail where I advocate for a better future.
