I became an organ donor because I witnessed the miraculous transformation of my dad's life. Amidst the despair of his condition, with only the slim hope of a transplant while on ECMO, I saw the extraordinary power of organ donation to bring hope, healing, and new beginnings. Inspired by this profound experience, I'm registered to give others the same chance at life and spread kindness and compassion through the gift of organ donation.

Working for the transplant institute and attending seminars for the Texas Organ Sharing Alliance (TOSA) has inspired me to do my part in the selfless act of donation. Many individuals in our community are uneducated on the importance and overall information about organ transplantation. As a donor advocate, I can do my part in helping others understand basic questions.

I have cared for patients in need of an organ for over 15 years. I know firsthand what an impact organ donors make in the lives of recipients and their family.
