Why did you choose to become a member of the Mazzoni Center Board?

I believe that everyone deserves access to compassionate and affirming healthcare, and by serving on the board, I aim to contribute to the continued growth and impact of Mazzoni Center. I joined the Mazzoni Center Board due to my personal experiences both as a patient, as well as a provider, within the LGBTQ+ community. Having witnessed the transformative impact that organizations like Mazzoni have on individuals' lives, I felt a desire to contribute my skills and perspectives to support their mission.
