ABOUT ME
Being born with a rare and chronic lung disease called cystic fibrosis, over the years of many hospital stays, doctor appointments, and procedures, I've learned the value of being a patient advocate for my own health. I believe in the importance of engaging patient communities to be active participants in healthcare across the continuum by empowering and educating them to collaborate with researchers, physicians, and pharmaceutical companies to improve disease outcomes.
With my science background, I have become a professional patient voice in research contributing to clinical trial development, research prioritization and committees, developing patient engagement initiatives, sharing my personal healthcare perspectives on various platforms, and engaging with the research and industry community.
I describe CF as my greatest blessing yet most awful curse, as although it limits my life tremendously, it has shaped me to be the person I am.
