One Year at MSMC

Today marks my 1st work anniversary at MSMC! It has been one crazy rollercoaster ride. I'm not a fan of extreme rides at theme parks, especially rollercoasters. This year felt like "Revenge of the Mummy" at Universal Studios where I was tricked into thinking it was just a so-so ride. The place is dark, making it more thrilling because you have no idea what's about to happen, then boom... the drop! I was worried my glasses would fall off, but in the end, it felt so good, and I was so proud of myself for surviving that ride.

I love my previous workplace, but after eight years, I reached a point where I felt stuck. Leaving was hard because my colleagues and doctors had become my second family, and it was the place where I grew into the medtech I am today. I was also scared because I knew I would be facing a lot of challenges. But to grow and learn, I took a leap of faith and took the offer.

A year has gone by, and I am grateful for the opportunity and trust given to me. Over this year, I have changed so much—my perspective on life and how I handle things. I love how I've learned to become more patient and chill and how I've learned to be honest and firm in keeping boundaries.

Sharing a recent elevator photo because my workmates love it when I dress up. Also, a photo of the lab girlies with our favorite ROD, a fellow katusok, who gave us donuts on his last day in the ER! Wishing him all the best in his residency and that we get to work with him again in the future.
