I was diagnosed with gyrate atrophy in April 2007 at Sickkids hospital. This was after my mom noticed something different with my right eye and after seeing my optometrist and an ophthalmologist in my city they referred me to Sickkids where I got diagnosed. It took me a long time to accept this disease. Since being diagnosed I graduated high school, tried college, and got married. Now the only thing I’m hoping for is a cure or even a way to reverse the progression of gyrate atrophy.

Brainstorming is my passion—not just brainstorming, but taking an idea, looking at the numbers, setting up tactics and timelines, and seeing that idea become a meaningful, enduring success.

From the analytical to the creative, I enjoy being involved in it all. When we work together, each contributing our strengths, we can take a good idea and make it greater; we can take an important message and make it clearer; we can take a life-changing cause and effectively do something about it.
