Bringing the patient voice into the rooms where decisions get made.

I work at the intersection of GLP-1 patients and the brands that serve them, bringing patient voices into the rooms where organizations create, evolve and innovate the products, services and care this community depends on.

How I got here

I started where a lot of you did.

Four years ago I got a prescription and almost no guidance, so I went looking for answers on TikTok and found a few hundred other people doing the same thing. That community grew into tens of thousands, then started a podcast to bring in the doctors, researchers and specialists who could actually answer our questions.

What I kept seeing was a system with real gaps in it, and people suffering inside those gaps. So I started filling them, on both sides. I support patients directly, and I help the organizations building for this community understand what it actually needs.
