Connect What is the most rewarding part of being a mom?

The most rewarding part of being a mom is knowing that as my kids grow, they’re watching me grow too. They’ve seen me study late, push through exhaustion, and keep showing up with love and purpose. I still can't believe all three of my babies will have gone through medical school with me. It’s not easy, but every hug, every “I love you,” every moment they look at me with pride. It reminds me that I’m not just building a future for them, I’m building it with them. <3

What is one memory of your kids that you will never forget?

Gosh, this is so hard! There are TOO many :) Watching my kids grow while juggling med school has taught me to be intentional, to soak in the little moments, because time moves SO fast. My camera roll has over 25,000 photos of them since their births. It’s proof that even in the chaos, I didn’t want to miss a thing.

What would you do with $20,000?

Honestly, $20,000 would go toward school loans and bills. I do dream of investing it or starting something big for my kids, but the truth is, those things are often only possible when you already have money and stability. And while we’ll absolutely build savings for our children’s future, right now, that kind of support would ease a heavy financial burden and give us some room to breathe.
