My life changed dramatically after a Traumatic Brain Injury in 2003. Since that time, I've has devoted her life to being an advocate for better support and services for other’s who have experienced a brain injury. I'm currently is the facilitator of a strong and politically active Brain Injury Support Group. I also served as the first Co-Chair of the Governor’s Washington State TBI Strategic Partnership Advisory Council. While I ams excited about the recent press and new initiatives of addressing TBI in Washington State and around the nation, I feel passionate that this opportunity results in sustainable programs and support.
