Proud father & daughter moment with Dr. Mark Giles DNP, CRNA.

I took this picture and smiled the whole day. I read Dr. Lena Gould posts saying at least once a week "I will be a CRNA" speaking it into existence!
I'm a confident person but imposter syndrome is real. Three more months and a certification exam and I'll be a CRNA!
As per Dr. Gould: I am profoundly proud of you and the sacrifice you have made for your beautiful family. Next up, prayed up for you on CRNA boards!
