Shelby Vanryckeghen's classmates describe her as someone who is caring and brings positive energy to patients, families, and especially her peers. She demonstrates compassionate care by addressing the concerns of every patient and family member in need, and advocates for their well-being by voicing her concerns to the healthcare team. She also extends this consideration to her classmates by always being the first to meet their needs, whether it be helping someone understand a concept or offering someone a ride home.
