Melissa’s interest in becoming a patient navigator is directly influenced by her own cancer survivorship journey. As a young adult survivor of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, she then developed her skills to become her own health advocate. Melissa was able to successfully help many patients do the same during her time volunteering and working at the Cancer Society of the Bahamas in the capacity of Programs and Education Coordinator.
