"I'm a nurse trying to provide care for patients and lead a team working on a COVID-19 unit and I wanted to send hope," Kwasniewski said. "I felt very shocked, I felt very honored to be asked to sing in such a large event."

She was asked to sing by the inauguration team after they saw her sing during an event at Children's Hospital last spring.
