Narcolepsy Awareness and Public Speaking

Narcolepsy Awareness and Public Speaking

I am a passionate advocate for narcolepsy awareness and highlighting the importance of sleep health. In 2021, I participated in Project Sleep’s Rising Voices of Narcolepsy program, helping me to develop my story and training me to share it with others. In addition to fundraising and political advocacy, I now share my story to help raise awareness about Narcolepsy.
