It all began while I navigated through more than a decade of medical trauma and gaslighting as a chronic illness patient myself.
Fighting to be seen, heard, valued as the key member of not just my healthcare team, but two of my children with rare & chronic diagnoses as well. As a medical mom I found very little help and support for someone like me navigating an unexpected path exhausted and living in a constant state of fight or flight.
Patients and caregivers are often questioned harshly but never given resources or support to help manage life with a chronic condition. After years of experiences trauma I was determine to fight back.
I’m a big believer that things happen for a reason, even when we can’t see it at first. Finding the lessons through the most difficult times in my life is what propelled me forward. I’ve turned my life experience into a purpose, finding a passion and drive for advocacy I never new before.
