Occupation

Daughter/Wife/Makeup Artist/Artist

Risk Factor

Multiple Autoimmune Syndrome

“I was working 14-hour days as a makeup artist on movie sets before the pandemic and I would constantly have to hide all of my ailments; like standing for that long with Ankylosing Spondilitis is just excruciating. I pushed myself so hard and never told anyone on set about my health problems because I was afraid of losing my job. But now, since the pandemic shut everything down, I have time to take care of myself. I was finally able to round up a team of doctors and we’ve made so much headway on my diagnoses. My body is my home, that’s ultimately all I own, and this pandemic has given me the opportunity to care for myself. As much as I loved my job, health and happiness is more important. I’m looking forward to my next career path.”
