Hey there, wonderful souls! I'm Makayla Boddie, a 23-year-old biracial woman on a mission to weave a life filled with travel, health, and a commitment to transforming the landscape of American healthcare.

​

A Glimpse into My World:
At the age of 14, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, setting the stage for a challenging journey. Living with moderate to severe symptoms, I've weathered the storm of hospitalizations, enduring a struggle that has shaped me into the resilient person I am today.

 

Discovering Passions Amidst Adversity:
Despite the trials of my illness, I unearthed a profound love for both travel and healthcare. Travel, with its diverse cultures, foods, customs, and histories, became a source of inspiration and a reminder that life is a vibrant tapestry waiting to be explored.

 

A Vision for Healthcare Transformation:
Fueled by my experiences, I carry a burning passion and drive to change the landscape of American healthcare. My vision extends beyond profit margins; I aspire to see a shift towards a not-for-profit system, demanding quality, accessible, and affordable healthcare for all. 

 

Balancing Roles:
Currently, I wear multiple hats as a Patient Care Coordinator and Data Entry professional, working from the comforting space of my home. These roles allow me to blend my healthcare knowledge with a deep-seated desire to make a tangible impact on patients' lives.

 

Travel Enthusiast and Industry Insider:
Beyond my professional roles, I'm a former travel agent with hands-on experience in customer support. Sharing my travel knowledge brings me immense joy, and I believe that exploring the world is a catalyst for personal growth and understanding.

​

The Ultimate Aspiration:
My compass points towards a future in medicine or a similar field. I aspire to be in a position where I can instigate positive change in my patients' lives, enabling them to traverse the globe with joy and vitality.

This blog isn't just about my story; it's an invitation for you to be part of the narrative. Whether you're navigating a health challenge, dreaming of far-off lands, or simply seeking inspiration, you're not alone. Let's embark on this journey together - a journey of resilience, advocacy, and unwavering determination.
