I was born with a congenital defect called transposition of the great vessels, this is where my pulmonary (takes blood into the heart) and aorta (takes blood out of the heart) we're switched at birth. At 14 days old they switched them back. During that time they believe I also had a stroke when I was a baby. I've had many complications on the way with my femoral artery being blocked as I got older, but I am happy to say I made it through all of it.
Bring through all this has lead me to wanting to be in the healthcare field. Specifically working with hearts, so now I am in the invasive cardiovascular program. I am proud to say I love it and I wouldn't want it any other way.
