I am a Marketing Specialist turned Long COVID Advocate & Equity Policy Advisor from Northern Virginia. Recovering from a March 2020 mild COVID-19 infection that lead to severe disability. I was part of the team that helped draft the COVID-19 Long Haulers Act. I spoke alongside the bills sponsors Rep. Don Beyer and Rep. Jack Bergman. I have also met with Rep. Ayanna Pressley's and Senator Tim Kaine's teams as they drafted Long COVID legislation. I recently gave my sworn testimony on Capitol Hill, invited by Congressman Clyburn, about my experience with medical racism.
