I am a graduate of Boston University with a BA degree in English Literature with an avid love of books and writing. I’ve worked as an administrative assistant in several departments of Columbia University Law School for 19 years. I am an outgoing person whose strong communication skills enable me to deal proficiently with people from all walks of life. I am also the aunt of two grown nephews who have sickle cell disease. I’ve witnessed their medical challenges and suffering from this disease over the years. I’m a passionate advocate and want to help promote and support bringing Sickle Cell Disease awareness nationwide and all over the world.
