I was diagnosed with Stage III colorectal cancer in 2017 at age 35, which progressed to Stage IV sixteen months later. A friend introduced me to COLONTOWN, which became instrumental in helping me learn how to manage my disease and provided the support I needed to navigate life as a wife and graduate student with cancer. Now in “no evidence of disease” status for the second time, I want to make sure that more cancer patients can find the support that this community offered to me.
In my role as Marketing Manager, I oversee the digital media strategy for PALTOWN and COLONTOWN, drawing on my 12 years of experience working in marketing and communications. I hold a B.A. in journalism from Indiana University, an M.S. in sport management from Drexel University, and a Ph.D in management from the University of Massachusetts. In addition to my work with PALTOWN, I am a full time business school faculty member.
