A teacher passed out behind the wheel as she began to drive away. As I arrived at the scene, my teacher was still incapacitated, so I lifted the teacher from her to begin CPR. As I got her to the ground (on the street), Nurse Boras stated she was right behind me and stated she knew CPR and immediately began chest compressions and using the defibrillator once it became available. She and my security guard switched as they got tired. Nurse Boras played an absolutely key role in saving my teacher's life until emergency services arrived.

Thank you, Diana, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
