 Lizzie said she chose this line of work because of
personal experiences in her family. She explained that she had two
cousins who spent time in neonatal intensive care units; one was
there for
six weeks. During that time, Lizzie said she observed the care the
infants were given by the nursing staff and was inspired to do the
same thing with her life. "I want to be someone who can help those
infants and their families," Lizzie said.
