What shall we talk about?
Tap into my lived experiences of a variety of topics. Below are some topics I am particularly enthusiastic about.
Disability In STEM
Life as a DeafBlind and Disabled cell biologist. Adaptations, accommodations, and working relationships.
DeafBlindness
DeafBlindness is a spectrum, and my life on the milder end is seldom talked about. The challenges are unique
Cold Urticaria
Life allergic to cold where I can’t breathe outside 9 months of the year. What’s up with that?
Mental Health
Recently diagnosed after a lifetime of living with OCD and Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Growing up bendy, navigating the medical system with a chronic illness, living with chronic pain.
Nonbinary Life
Life as a queer, nonbinary, disabled person. Pronouns? Name changes? Hair? Clothes? How my queer identity intersects with disability.
And an array of resources!
Links to my online work that can be read, watched, learned from, and shared.

“Hearing Max question why being a scientist and being disabled couldn’t coexist broke my heart. I was so grateful to hear Max and the panel’s story at #RareSummit23, as I firmly believe that rare youth need to be heard and acknowledged more. This won’t be a panel session that I soon forget.”
