My lovely friend Melissa introduced me to the organization after my ostomy surgery.
For many of us, our illnesses can be so isolating. After my Total Pelvic Exenteration that left me with a permanent colostomy and urostomy, I sought a community of women who understood the complexities of navigating the massive changes to my body. If there is a way I can give my talents to this community as well, even better!
I currently serve as the Chief Operating Officer at New York City Center, a 2,200 seat performing arts venue in midtown Manhattan. We produce musical theater, dance and educational programs specifically serving New Yorkers. I love the arts and singing is a passion, you can often find me at a Karaoke Club with my husband and close friends! I’m also heavily involved with the organization Cervivor serving as a Cervical Cancer Advocate and the American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network as a volunteer. I live in New Jersey and have recently began engaging in speaking engagements, telling my cervical cancer story to advocate for HPV vaccination and awareness. I love traveling with my husband, Kevin and my pug, Seymour!
