Advocacy

I am very passionate about spreading awareness for food allergies. I have lived with severe food allergies for my whole life and being able to share my experiences and advice through advocacy work means so much to me. 

In 2018, I published Cook It Up in order to showcase my recipes and spread food allergy awareness. Since then, I have been motivated to share allergy friendly recipes and advice on social media, in order to promote awareness and provide a reliable resource for the food allergy community. I have shared my experiences as a middle/high schooler and now a college student and young adult who has navigated food allergies during each step of the way.

Along with my personal advocacy projects, I have worked alongside Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) since 2018 in order to support and advocate for their research and initiatives and make a difference in the food allergy community. I have participated and assisted with leading their initiatives, worked on their Teen Advisory Board, lobbied food allergy acts, and was featured as a speaker at the FARE Summits in 2018 and 2022. All of which have been opportunities to connect with other members of this community, share experiences/advice, and gain confidence with using my voice to promote change and spread awareness for something that has impacted my life so significantly.
