In 2017 I was first diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma, I had a 6 months treatment and got into remission, after 2 years the doctors told me that I had a relapse and now Im half way in my treatment at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego.

I'm very excited because after my stem cell transplant i will be able to continue my medical assistant program and then start nursing school! My boyfriend is also a lymphoma survivor and we have been supporting each other in this journey.

I'm a 20 year old women with a lot of goals in life and I cannot wait to make them come true!
