Throughout her career, Krystal has been honored for her acts of “humankindness,” including receiving the DAISY Award for exceptional patient-centered care. Whether arranging bedside celebrations for terminal patients or advocating for dignity and comfort in every stage of care, she consistently exemplifies empathy and compassion. Her long-term goal is to work as a telehealth therapist, increasing access to mental health services while continuing to serve with the same dedication and humanity that define her journey.
