The program is a continuous journey of self-discovery and growth moving towards excellence.

Her own baby started out in the NICU and is now a strong and healthy 3-year-old.
Michael D. Litten, commented he was “beyond thrilled, because Roma’s passion combine with the certificate pro- gram fits perfectly with our mission and core belief, which is as Dr. Seuss’s iconic character, Horton, said so suc- cinctly and eloquently: ‘a person’s a person, no matter how small.’”
Roma said, “I want to be a trauma informed professional so I can better serve these beautiful babies and families in my care, and continue to provide the support and encouragement to the amazing medical team that works day in and day out with these families.”
