Priscila Quinteros

One of my biggest inspirations for pursuing a health profession was my both grandparents. I was a witness of how every day despite the circumstances they tried to do their best in the middle of the chaos. My desire is to help and care for my future patients so I can help advocate for my Latino community and give them the support they need. One of my goals is to be able someday to work at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which is one of the reasons I am still standing. The thought that someday I will be able to walk through those doors and be an advocator and supporter to an underrepresented minority family is my driving force to keep fighting. I look forward to helping Latino children at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital fighting cancer and telling him/her: “estoy contigo y saldremos de esta “, which translated to English means, “I am with you, and we will emerge from this situation”. I am sure I will succeed with hard work, dedication, commitment, and God’s guiding light.
LET'S DO THIS!
