What I'm Up to: I worked as a software engineer for a few years after getting my philosophy degree, and now I am taking pre-requisite classes to ultimately apply to medical school as a more meaningful way to help others.
Why I joined JCO: I have always wanted to find a volunteer opportunity that would not only be genuinely helpful but also build meaningful connections and moments. Cancer is a diagnosis everyone fears and the struggle to survive it is one of the most difficult and isolating times of a person’s life. To show those struggling that there are those in their community that have them in their thoughts and are willing to spend time with them can be a salve for despair. And when survival rates are influenced by psychological stress, such support may not just alleviate but help cure. I believe this is what JCO accomplishes, and I am excited to help share the good they provide to our communities in Northwest Arkansas.
