Blake cares about…

Supporting health care by helping the people that help others. Health care workers are modern-day heroes, working long hours to care for others on a daily basis, and Blake believes they deserve our utmost respect. From raising money for Doernbecher Children’s Hospital to volunteering at the Salem Hospital, Blake has adamantly supported the health care community for years and hopes to pursue a career representing workers and entities after graduation.
