As someone who has endured the trials of kidney disease twice, I hold over 22 years of experience in the field of advocacy. My journey with two kidney transplants has imbued me with a profound understanding of the challenges faced by those living with such conditions. For the past two decades, I have actively engaged with the American Kidney Fund Advocacy Program. This invaluable time has involved me in numerous discussions and platforms where I shared my insights and personal experiences, aiming to provide hope and clarity to others on similar paths. 

My voice has reached many through appearances on television, radio, and news programs, allowing me to communicate the critical narratives surrounding end-stage renal disease. I am driven by a personal mission to foster an environment of support and education, empowering individuals and families to navigate their health journeys with greater confidence and knowledge.
