My name is Dominique Toney and I enjoy helping others, which is why I am a part of the Mount Leadership Society Scholars. I do not perform service for my own satisfaction; I do it in order to see the faces of those whom I have helped and the progression that I have aided to make in their lives. I am an introvert at heart, but once I am addressed by an aspect of my passion, I am able to interact easily with others. Although helping others is what I love to do, I am passionate about my faith in God, which has shaped me to become the person who I currently am.

The values that I have learned through my Christianity have helped me to choose the career path of becoming a pediatric oncology nurse. The field of pediatric oncology may seem like a heartbreaking profession, but I believe that the children who are affected by cancer are children first, then patients; meaning that they deserve a “normal” childhood just as much as any other child.
