Background:

My name is Kylie Brooke Wilder. After graduating, I moved to Charleston, SC and received my undergrad degree in Early Childhood Education with a concentration in Psychology. I went to grad school in Charleston and received my Masters of Science in Child Life. I am currently working as a Certified Child Life Specialist (CCLS) at Memorial Health Dwaine & Cynthia Willett Children’s Hospital of Savannah, GA. I work on the inpatient hematology/oncology unit along with in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

What is one word you would use to describe the impact HHCA made on you?

Intentionality. From the moment that I started attending HHCA, I could tell that the environment was unique. I had many teachers and staff that I would consider to have been mentors to me throughout my time at HHCA, and it was because they were so intentional with me. They took the time to get to know me on an individual level and truly cared about me. They demonstrated a mutual respect for me and went above and beyond to care for me personally and spiritually, as well as academically.

What was your most memorable experience at HHCA?

My most memorable experience at HHCA would be the senior year mission trip and Passion conference. The opportunity to go on a mission trip was life changing and provided me with so much perspective. After attending Passion as a student at HHCA, I went on to go three additional times while I was in college because I loved my experience so much!

Intentionality. From the moment that I started attending HHCA, I could tell that the environment was unique.
