During the COVID-19 pandemic, Rebecca took the initiative to administer thousands of free vaccines to patients, regardless of their backgrounds, and overcame language barriers, to protect her community. Inspired by the amazing stories of her community and front-line workers, she gives back by leading prayers with her patients and preserving faith in a turmoil time. Despite facing adversities and misfortunes, Rebecca remains optimistic and passionate about her work and the people around her.

She believes that fear can be healthy because it makes you stronger and more resilient, and remembering the reward after conquering fear will propel you through any obstacles.
