Collin Thomas
Pediatric Nurse Practitioner
As a young child, I always said I wanted to become a ‘baby doctor or nurse.’ Growing up, I witnessed my mother’s empathy and devotion as she cared for my grandmother. As I took a more active role in her care, I learned firsthand the emotional and physical demands involved. Though challenging, the experience was deeply rewarding and instilled in me a strong sense of purpose, reinforcing my compassion and desire to pursue healthcare.
One of the greatest privileges of being a nurse practitioner is growing alongside my patients during some of the hardest years of their lives. I meet many as infants and watch them grow, face challenges, and discover who they are. Being present for both struggles and triumphs has shown me the power of trust and compassion, and it’s why I’m deeply grateful for the work I do.
