"I am so grateful to be a part of this organization and to help make learning feel safe and exciting for the future of our community. As a child, I was often filled with fear of going to a general checkup with my pediatrician and I now realize those feelings could have been mitigated with early, fun, and engaging exposure to medicine. TBH is such a gift, and I greatly look forward to continuing this work!"
