Serving under Austin Smiles allows me to continue my passion for helping children and support their mission to create a healthier future for our community. As someone whose parents grew up with limited resources, I’ve witnessed firsthand that equitable and compassionate care can change someone’s life in a heartbeat. I am very grateful and excited for the opportunity to contribute to their mission and positively impact a patient’s life forever.
