Assistant Clinical Professor Meza proudly participated in this year’s Autism Awareness 5K. She shared that this event holds a special place in her heart, as it brings awareness to individuals with autism, something deeply meaningful to her both personally and professionally. As a pediatric nurse, she has cared for patients with autism, and as a Psychiatric Clinical Professor, she continues to guide nursing students in providing compassionate care to individuals with autism and disabilities. This experience was even more memorable as she shared it with her family, celebrating her daughter’s very first race together. A moment filled with purpose, pride, and inspiration. Raising awareness, leading by example, and inspiring the next generation both at home and in the clinical setting.
