Leticia Herrera, Breastfeeding Peer Counselor
Northwestern Prentice Women's Hospital
Nominated by Cirina Herrera

"I want to nominate Leticia because she is one of the most hardworking, selfless, and genuinely kind people I know. Every day she puts in an incredible amount of effort, not just in her work but in the way she shows up for everyone around her. She consistently gives her best without expecting recognition or praise. She also has a strong work ethic that inspires me to push myself harder and strive to be better, because she leads by example rather than words. I truly look up to her, not only for what she accomplishes, but for who she is as a person. She is one of the nicest people I know.

Because of this, I believe she more than deserves time for herself to rest and be appreciated. A vacation would give her the opportunity to step away from her daily responsibilities and fully enjoy the world around her, something she rarely allows herself to do. She has given so much of her energy to others, and this vacation would be a meaningful way to give something back to her."
