show moreCarrlee McGuire-Lim is a Heart Warrior who was born with Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome, Coarctation, and TGA. She has had several cardiac surgeries over her lifetime and a Pacemaker placed at age 5. Carlee also has severe scoliosis requiring surgical rod placement at age 13.

Carrlee pursued more and graduated with her MSN and starting teaching nursing students in 2021.
She married the love of her life in 2017 and has big plans for her future.
