While managing sponsors and exhibitors for medical conferences in a previous position, I saw firsthand how nonprofit organizations were being excluded due to high participation costs. I had always wanted to start my own organization so when I saw a need to be filled I took the leap.

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband Aaron and little dog Penny, playing board games, and appreciating good movies. I'm also an independent filmmaker, having written and/or directed a small number of award winning short films.

My real passion though is helping people. I hope this organization substantially increase education about the help and services available to those who suffer from chronic illnesses. To quote a friend and mentor of mine, "Do good. Be kind. Change the world"
