I want to express my deepest gratitude to my Mexican immigrant mother, Clara and my Finnish father, Brian, from a small town in Minnesota. Their unwavering love and support have been the driving force behind my success. They have always believed in my abilities and potential, allowing me to establish my own practice, pursue college education, and build a fulfilling life. Even though your lives were cut short, my gratitude for both of you remains unwavering. My accomplishments are your accomplishments.
