Other Projects
Be Brave Travel
Living with chronic illness taught me that travel doesn't have to stop—it just looks different. Be Brave Travel helps people with disabilities and chronic illnesses plan accessible adventures without the overwhelm. Because everyone deserves to see the world, even when your body has other plans.
The JD BUILDS Foundation
After losing my brother-in-law Jay in 2019, we created this foundation in his memory. Jay was a builder of community, connection, and joy. We honor his legacy by continuing that work—building something beautiful from grief.
