From the spotlight of global stages like giving 2 TedTalks before twenty years old to the pursuit of health and medical research, my journey is proof that resilience can transform adversity into purpose. Once a model, beauty queen, and TV host, I now dedicate my voice and vision to empowering others through science, storytelling, and community impact. Chronic conditions or medical mistakes should never hinder us from truly living – they can ignite new paths of strength and creativity. Explore my work and discover how evidence, empathy, and experience can inspire change.
