My special guest is Dr. Carlee Carranza
Born and raised in Syracuse, New York, Dr. Carlee Carranza is no stranger to challenges and adversity. The first physician in her family, Carlee was inspired to pursue a career in medicine by her mother's fearless leadership in the corporate world and her two mentors - her lacrosse coach and a friend's dental surgeon father.

Today, she stands as a testament to resilience, not only surviving but thriving despite the tumultuous circumstances.
