Throughout her career as a nurse, Rebekah received the Mercy Nurses Rock Scholarship in 2016 and the DAISY Award in 2008 and 2016. Rebekah lives by the quote "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why" - Mark Twain. This quote was the motivation behind her goal of becoming a nurse practitioner.She says "I was motivated by my daughter to go back to school for nursing as I did not want her to aspire to be a factory worker like me. I went on for my nurse practitioner degree in 2016 after my son was born. In short, my children encouraged me.
