Short Bio

In 2014 I was dx with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS). I have been quite private about my diagnosis while I continued to work full-time. Last June I decided to put myself and my health first and stopped working so I could focus on my fight against the progression of this disease. This was an extremely difficult decision as I was working in a position that I absolutely loved!  I am only now starting to find my ‘new normal’. I have participated in a clinical trial through the MS Clinic @ UBC over the past 5 yrs in order to access and receive (the only) medication that has been developed and approved for PPMS (Ocrilizumab).

I am a warrior and I will keep fighting and praying for an MS cure!
