I chose this career because I believe in the power of philanthropy. Philanthropy has the ability to improve human health and make a tangible difference in people’s lives. I’m not a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider, so this is my way of playing a meaningful role in supporting the well-being of others. Fundraising allows me to connect generous people with opportunities that resonate with them and have the potential to make incredible impact, whether by advancing research, expanding access to care, uplifting underserved communities, or supporting patients and their families. This work gives me a sense of purpose, and it’s how I feel I can contribute to a more hopeful world.
