Forum Keynote Speaker
I was diagnosed with ANCA vasculitis when I was 16, which I found out had heavily impacted my kidneys. I was put on peritoneal dialysis for awhile before receiving a transplant from my dad. I am currently 20 years old, and living a happy healthy life in Toronto studying Dance and Performance at Ryerson University.
