Self-Advocate Advisor (Kansas)

Fragile X is a huge part of my life. I was diagnosed at a very young age. My brother Brian (pictured above) has the full mutation and I’m a carrier. FX came from my mom’s side of the family.
I’ve never been to a fragile X Conference before! Louisville 2026 is my first time! I’m happy to be here to learn more about FX and of course make new friends along the way!

Things I enjoy doing are baking all sorts of goodies for friends and family. In my free time I enjoy diamond art.

A fun fact about me is… In High School I took a Culinary Arts Class and broke my wrist in 2 spots cutting a loaf of bread. Yep! Bread!
