I was diagnosed with cancer when I was sixteen years old, during my junior year of high school. I missed a lot of the most memorable high school events due to multiple surgeries, hospitalizations, and treatments. I’ve had a liver resection, multiple lung surgeries, and abdominal procedures. I was recently hospitalized with uncontrolled pain due to my current tumor status.
As a college student, I continue to face challenges with my health, but I have learned to live every day to the fullest. I face every setback with optimism and refuse to let my cancer derail my dreams. I am currently pursuing an electrical engineering degree, which has been my lifelong goal.
