I am active in several ongoing LS research projects where I am either co-lead or patient representative and lead multiple knowledge translation and sharing efforts through The Lost Labia Chronicles and Lichen Sclerosus Support Network. My background in academia, knowledge translation, social media, and marketing allows me to effectively communicate complex medical information to diverse audiences, fostering awareness and understanding of these often misunderstood conditions.
