?? Honored to be a panelist at the 2025 Stargardt Summit! ?? Being part of this event was truly a privilege. I had the opportunity to share my journey, connect with others in the community, and discuss the future of vision health and advocacy. I’m incredibly grateful to have been included among such inspiring panelists. A huge thank you to The Carroll Center for the Blind, an organization dedicated to empowering individuals of all ages who are blind or visually impaired.

Foundation Fighting Blindness – leading the charge in research and innovation for retinal diseases. ?? The Blind Life – an incredible platform providing resources and support for the visually impaired community. ?? Alkeus, our generous sponsor, whose commitment to advancing treatments for Stargardt disease and other conditions gives hope to so many.

Another Purpose Built Communities Hill Day is in the books! The fight for thriving neighborhoods through the model of high-quality mixed-income housing, cradle-to-college/career education pipeline, community wellness, and economic vitality continues. This trip was extra special because I was able to run into my fellow Sanford School Warrior, Nia N., at Senator Lisa Blunt Rochester's office!
