Driven by my search for knowledge and a deeper understanding of the challenges faced within the Australian community led me to Hypersomnolence Australia, where I soon found myself facilitating the monthly Living with Narcolepsy catch-ups. This experience deepened my desire to do more - not just for myself, but for the wider community. The catch-ups quickly showed me how vital these spaces are: places where people can connect with others who understand, ask questions, or simply hang out. Holding that space made it clear how much our community needs stronger voices, better resources, and ongoing advocacy.

I bring lived experience, openly sharing the realities of narcolepsy - even when it’s ugly or embarrassing -because honesty matters. There is strength in vulnerability, and by being real I hope to challenge stigma, break stereotypes, and give others comfort, connection, and validation…Ultimately, my goal is to give hope in the face of what can often feel like a hopeless and daunting condition to live with forever. Through advocacy, awareness, and community-building, I want to help improve outcomes in diagnosis, treatment, and understanding, while ensuring no one in Australia has to face narcolepsy alone.”​
