About Me

Wigs are considered an aesthetic; a cosmetic “want” rather than a Cranial Prosthetic “necessity.” My conviction to lobby for this insurance coverage is steeped in a pressing desire for no child to experience what I felt before finding acceptance.
My early aspirations of being onstage were replaced with the diagnosis of the autoimmune disorder, Alopecia. I lost my hair at the age of eight, along with my reason for living. The negative words of my peers became my inner voice as I let my disease overtake every aspect of my life. At the age of ten, Wigs 4 Kids granted me a beautiful new hair piece and a new outlook on life. Since, I have attended over 500 media-covered events, sharing my personal story of how a hairpiece can truly affect a young child. For example, Destiny, a teenager with Trichotillomania, was inspired to invite her ‘secret crush’ to the dance after hearing my story. I donated one of my wigs to her; cut and styled it for the event, resulting in her dancing the night away with that crush and a smile that never left her face (nor mine!).
In addition to serving as a passionate volunteer and advocate for Wigs 4 Kids, I have dedicated my time and talent to serve in meaningful ways, including:  portraying a singing Queen Elsa and presenting a message of uniqueness as our magical power;  raising over $100,000 by incorporating a variety of fundraising tactics (e.g., cut-a-thons, penny drives, grant proposals);  traveling across the country as the Wigs 4 Kids’ campaign spokesperson;  creating and implementing The Color Project - a set of workshops for schools and youth-groups;  generating over $75,000 by partnering with NASCAR that went directly to the children;  partnering with Children Alopecia Project and the National Alopecia Areata Foundation;  serving as Chairwoman of the Youth Action Committee for Wigs 4 Kids
