What makes her awesome?
Sasha works primarily with children in the NeuroOnc and their families. Sasha has a remarkable ability to bring joy to every family she encounters. Her energy is infectious! She is able to balance this beautiful spirit of fun with the ability to also meet families in times of crisis and tragedy. Whether laying on the floor with a struggling parent or bonding over 90s music, Sasha is a true support to her patients.
All of these things make Sasha invaluable to our patients — but they also make her an absolute joy to work with. Palliative Care can be a heavy field and Sasha brings such a beautiful sense of love and support to her teammates all over the hospital. She holds space for her coworkers when we have hard days and she energizes us to keep going. She is the first to organize a team activity, include others, and share a “love you!” She has a teaching spirit and truly believes in her coworkers. I am so grateful to know and work with Sasha.
What does she want to do next?
