Andrew’s Journey

Andrew’s journey with #OCGoodwill started in 2019 when he completed the Project SEARCH program at CHOC Children's Hospital, gaining valuable hands-on experience. Today, he’s thriving in the ABILITIES program at Edwards Lifesciences, making his dream of working in a lab a reality! 🧪💙

As part of his role, Andrew helps prepare and ship synthetic hearts for research—impacting lives across the nation and beyond. With support from Goodwill OC and his mentors, his future is limitless!
