Rosie began her career in healthcare as a primary caregiver for her mother due to a language barrier. This led her to become an EMT and public health advocate. A key moment was when she informed a patient about an amputation due to undiagnosed diabetes, highlighting the need for health education in underserved communities. Rosie pursued further education, developed health programs, and now mentors and teaches to improve healthcare accessibility and equity. Edit credit: Alison Jacques
