About Me

My story didn’t start with advocacy,  it started with fear, hiding my blindness from the world, and letting OCD boss me around.

Born a fighter, I learned from an early age how to navigate the world differently while living with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome, a rare genetic condition that caused progressive vision loss.

As my vision worsened, I worked hard to adapt.

Alongside blindness, I also live with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

For years, OCD dictated my life. There were seasons of hiding, isolating, and struggle as I battled internally with OCD and fought the reality of blindness. Over time, through treatment, faith, and support, I began reclaiming my life. I began reclaiming my life from OCD and began accepting my blindness. With a heart for helping others, I am turning my “mess” into my mission.

I share my story because I want others facing similar challenges to know they’re not alone. I share my story to be a glimmer of hope for those fighting OCD and navigating their own health journeys. I write to show that despite setbacks life is worth living and to remind others of this truth: if I can do it, so can you.
