“Working in the same hospital as my mother feels like being part of a legacy. She's a legend in her own right, and I'm just trying to keep up! From setting standards of respect just with her name from 31 years of service at Mount Sinai Queens to nurturing me through the highs and lows, she's been my rock... Amidst the emotional rollercoaster of healthcare, having my mom by my side brings comfort and love. We laugh, we vent, and sometimes we even sneak in a quick lunch together. It's not just about the professional support; she's my best friend, and I'm grateful every day for the opportunity to make her proud. A lot of people wish they could work with their mother after witnessing our dynamic, and I am blessed to be able to live it. Plus, having her around means I never go hungry!”
