She is a physician assistant, TEDx speaker and a thyroid and hormone expert by way of being a patient.

Now she lives, breathes and thrives in understanding the nuances of proper thyroid care. Her philosophy is simple: There is no reason to still have thyroid symptoms. She spends her time with patients to help them get their lives back and teaching and advocating for the other millions suffering who aren’t her patients.
