I am an HIV survivor dedicated to making a positive impact on the world. Diagnosed with HIV at 18, I've faced numerous challenges but have never given up on my dreams. I previously worked for the Maryland State Health Department, where I assisted HIV-positive clients who cannot afford prescriptions or insurance. I also have worked at DC Health Benefit Exchange and Whitman Walker Health Clinic, where I assisted members of the community in applying for all types of pubic benefits like healthcare, SNAP benefits, legal services, STI/STD testing and care, social security benefits, etc. I find immense fulfillment in helping others navigate the healthcare system and ensuring they receive the support they need. This work allows me to be a voice for the community and advocate for better access to healthcare resources.
