BRCA

When I learned I was positive for the BRCA genetic mutation—predisposing me to a range of cancers including breast, ovarian, and pancreatic—it set me on an intense quest for knowledge. What began as a personal search for understanding quickly grew into a passion for helping others navigate the often complex and overwhelming world of BRCA.

Over time, I became a mentor, research advocate, and speaker, focused on improving quality of life for both survivors and previvors. I am proud to support and collaborate with organizations such as FORCE, Bright Pink, Discovery to Cure, Imerman Angels, and the Basser Center, working to raise awareness and funding for genetic cancer research.

As part of my own prevention journey, I underwent a preventative oophorectomy that brought on surgical menopause in my 30s, followed by a prophylactic mastectomy with reconstruction. The years I spent rebuilding my sense of self and learning to balance my physical and emotional health now inform the work I do mentoring hundreds of women through their own surgeries and recoveries.

Today, I am committed to empowering others to advocate for their own health—because knowledge, support, and self-advocacy can be life-changing.

I am available to speak publicly and privately on BRCA related topics, and my own experiences.
