Mighty Member since October 2016
After surviving two extremely rare auto-immune illnesses in a seven-year time span, I decided to share my experiences in order to help others going through similarly difficult medical diagnoses. I was featured in a Discovery Life documentary in April 2015 and I currently write a blog and host a website (www.whenpigstakeflight.com) and social media platforms dedicated to issues relating to chronic illness, kidney disease, encephalitis, autoimmune diseases, chronic pain, anti-GBM, anti-NMDA and organ donation. My blog is featured as a resource on both the Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis Foundation and the global Encephalitis Society websites. In my day job, I work as a corporate marketing and communications specialist for a global engineering firm. I enjoy arts and crafts and home improvement projects and spending time with my dog, Dolce.
