My name is Crystal Juarez. I am pursuing my degree in Nursing. I am part of Palo Alto College’s work-study. I plan to graduate from Palo Alto College in May 2024 and will apply to Palo Alto’s Nursing Program. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be working with Chromosome 18. I am so excited to be a part of the Chromosome 18 Organization and know it will be a part of my nursing journey to help families that are not aware of a non-profit organization like Chromosome 18. I am part of Phi Theta Kappa (Honor Society and Leadership Organization with Palo Alto college. My home town is San Antonio, TX. I am a mom two to beautiful children who keep me on my toes. I hope one day to live on a farm with them making memories that last a lifetime.
