When I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at 23 in the middle of the early COVID-19 pandemic, I felt more isolated than ever. I struggled to find uplifting community online, and viral social media content of worst-case scenarios made my prospects look bleak.

Luckily, I have my aunt, Christiane, to set a better example. With over a decade of experience living with MS herself, she was able to share with me the resources and advice that I needed to get through my diagnosis and beyond. Now, I hope to give others this same "shortcut" through the mysteries and myths that come with an MS diagnosis.

In the 3.5 years since my diagnosis, I have found empowering groups and leaders who show the possibilities for continuing to pursue a fulfilled life with MS. Now you can find these resources, MS perspectives, opportunities for connection, and other tips here.
