“My mom was a teacher, and I grew up loving to learn. I feel blessed to be a part of some pretty amazing students’ lives. I am also grateful for all of the incredible educators that I have worked with-they are truly all about the kids.”
IN MEMORIAM
AMANDA REPAY,
Nurse, Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, University of Chicago
Amanda experienced
great joy in her time
as nurse, and loved her
job to the fullest. She
was able to make a
difference in people’s
lives by connecting with her patients in meaningful ways and humanizing her role in their care process. Amanda’s memory is one of love, strength and compassion, and has made a lasting impression on those she worked with, family, and friends.
URSULA KAZAKOS, Cardiac ICU Nurse, University of Chicago
“I am thankful to have a career that allows me to be myself and connect with people while hopefully making a difference. The best part of my job is when I see the look on my patient’s face when they’ve been told they have a heart donor- its indescribable.”
