History with condition
I was diagnosed with relapsing multiple sclerosis [MS] in 2008, aged 28. I also live with polycystic ovarian syndrome and chronic urticaria/angioedema. I have experience in a broad carer's capacity for my younger sister. She has ulcerative colitis and has experienced mental health issues, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression.

I work full time as a Spanish-English translator/analyst for a business intelligence company. I work with multiple stakeholders in my spare time, including pharma, patient associations/charities, clinicians, patients, and the healthcare industry. This is all done via my company, The Spark Global.

I bring the patient voice into the healthcare journey, addressing issues that affect specific patient communities and cross-patient communities, as well as the healthcare industry.
