My first job and what it taught me

Working in the NICU at Cook Children’s Medical Center taught me the value of teamwork and affirmed the role of traditional medicine in acute, life-saving care.

A nonprofit I wish more people knew about

Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation, supporting suicide prevention efforts in Tarrant County.

What keeps me coming back to my job every day

Seeing patients truly thrive — regaining wellness, reducing medications when appropriate and rediscovering hope.
