Sophie Salai

I am a BSN, RN who graduated nursing school with honors in 2019. I am a pediatric nurse specialized in trauma, oncology, and get the absolute privilege of working with some of our local families who deal with colorectal malformations.

I was born on a fall day in 1995. I was a perfect 5 pound little gopher with some big challenges to be faced ahead. I spent many years in hospitals, had plenty of surgeries and challenges, but I wouldn’t be who I am today without those struggles. Like many patients and families, I had wondered at one point during my life why me? But it was the doctors and nurses who helped me realize my why. So I could be a nurse who understands, advocates, and pays it forward to those who were at one point just like me!

I am now happily married to my wonderful husband and am trying to start my family. I love traveling to places all around the world. On my down time I love playing with my Golden Retriever Buddy, planning my next vacation, and streaming the best series. I am also a Cincinnati Bengals fan! My motto I live by is to never let my challenges stop me or control me. I control them!
