"are you a champion or something?" umm YES! 😍 i love sandy!

Hi everyone! My name is Erika, and I have yet to meet my SD! He or she is in training, and I am in training to be patient. 😅 I am so eager to meet them, but thankful for this time, as I have much to learn. I first found ASA and was then introduced to Amanda in late 2023. I finished all my fundraising in ~April 2024, and now I wait! I am currently completing my Master's of Nursing and work in pediatric bone marrow transplant and oncology. This is a photo of two of the dogs that I watch very often (mini Australian labradoodles). My SD will also be a (full-size) doodle, due to my allergies!

@Anissa Stark Thanks so much! I am trying to take in content little by little based on my training plan. I think it will be so helpful that I will have time off after graduating from my MSN program to starting my first role, so I can have extra dedicated time to training. I am also not planning on working full-time for now... just enough to have benefits. @Amanda Taulborg do you know if there are any other healthcare workers in the group? If yes, would love to connect!
