Moa

“I realized that I have knowledge from a patient perspective that nurses don’t have, maybe they haven’t even been in the hospital as a patient. So, I had the knowledge and I thought «I would like to do something with that». That’s why I decided to be a nurse. It’s so important to know what they’re going through and just be there for them.”

Moa is a 25-years old woman who was diagnosed soon after birth with Nephropathic Cystinosis, thus facing many challenges since a very young age. Regardless of the disease she lives with, Moa never lost her positive attitude towards life. She even went beyond that, turning her experience into a powerful source of purpose. Indeed, inspired by her own journey, she is now pursuing a career in nursing, driven by a deep understanding of what it means caring for others.
