After 17 years in pediatric oncology nursing, I’m closing a chapter that has shaped so much of who I am. For the past 7 years at Children’s Hospital Colorado, I’ve had the honor of walking alongside some of the strongest patients, families, and coworkers imaginable.
I have laughed, cried (a lot), and grown in ways I never could have imagined. This work has broken my heart open and filled it at the same time. It has taught me resilience, perspective, compassion, and the depth of human connection.
I don’t have all the answers about what’s next, and honestly, that feels both terrifying and beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I’m choosing to embrace the unknown, to be present in stillness, and to reconnect with myself outside of the role I’ve carried for so many years.
For now, I’ll be traveling, camping, creating more vintage candle vessels, and exploring the world of perfume — following curiosity wherever it leads me.
To every patient, family, friend, and coworker who has been part of this whirlwind journey: thank you. Thank you for trusting me, teaching me, supporting me, and allowing me to be “that person” during some of life’s hardest moments. It has been the privilege of my life.
I will carry these memories, lessons, and relationships with me always. ❤️
