After graduating, Summers went on to become a certified child life specialist. “I was in the children’s hospital in Omaha when I was 5 years old. I don’t remember a whole lot of it, but I remember my parents being really scared and I had never seen my dad scared before. My nurse was amazing, and she really is who I strive to be like. I’m now a certified child life specialist, which is the liaison between the children and families and the medical team. It’s just so empowering helping the patients understand their diagnosis, understand different procedures and support them through those as well,” she disclosed at the Miss USA 2018 finale stage.
