"“A lot of people will mismanage their nosebleeds, so they’ll put their head backwards instead of forward…They don’t hold constant pressure, which is one of the most challenging issues because you need to hold uninterrupted pressure for 10 to 20 minutes,” she said. “And that’s really hard to do, especially if you are a little kid, or an older adult or panicked because you’re bleeding. And then they can’t stop the bleeding, so they come to the ER.” ( marylandmatters.org); "I was fortunate to be raised from a young age to believe I could accomplish anything. It was not outlandish for me to pursue any career path or desire any station in life. Despite growing older and seeing several ways in which a seemingly impenetrable glass ceiling existed for women and especially women of color, I continue to believe that I can accomplish anything. Being a big dreamer has carried me this far in my career and my life. I can’t wait to see me touch the stars and change the world."
