(LIVs Creative Legacy, Director, Policy and Advocacy)

“After losing my niece to brain cancer, my family and I experienced firsthand how profoundly childhood cancer alters lives. Through that journey, I came to understand the urgent need for targeted research to change outcomes for children facing these devastating diagnoses. I was drawn to YPLC because it brings together passionate, like-minded professionals committed to CURE’s mission of conquering childhood cancer while supporting patients and their families. Being part of this community allows me to honor my niece’s legacy while working toward a future where no child has to endure what she did.”
