I am a student at the University of Colorado - Denver studying political science. I have a platelet disorder and have always been very involved with my home chapter in STL, but I have had the opportunity to start volunteering more with the Colorado chapter after moving out here this past year for school. One of my favorite things about this community is getting to meet people and expand my bleeder family. When I am not volunteering I love going hiking, watching soccer, spending time with my friends and family, and traveling! I am super excited to start my NYLI journey and to become a better advocate for those with chronic bleeding disorders.
