2016. I helped with providing the parents with breaks, playing with the
children, and providing loving attention to the NICU babies. I also

Helping with car seat checks and presenting safety information to families
throughout the community. Working this Summer for Heartland Hospice
for over 120 hours has been a great experience. It allowed me to help
families heal from the loss of a family member. I completed a 3-month
Internship in the Fall of 2017. It was through Mott Childrens Hospital. It
was broken into two parts, the first was working with the Community
Relations portion of the hospital. I helped start the Hope Ambassador
Program which helped patients navigate the Hospital. The second was
Patient Technology Integration so using Virtual Reality and gaming to
connect with patients as well as distract them from the hospital
environment and promote healing.
