In 2013 I received a diagnosis that would change everything... a gene mutation so rare I was the first to be diagnosed with it. This condition, known as Primary Immune Deficiency, was so severe that medical professionals didn't understand how I had survived my mother's pregnancy, let alone made it past 30 years old.
​
It's simple: God had MORE in store for me.
​
After years of research into this new disease, I was asked to give it a name. I chose MAGIS Syndrome, derived from the Latin word for MORE. It's a constant reminder that anyone struggling to thrive through this disease is MORE than the diagnosis.
​
This is the driving force behind my writing, speaking, and mission. I want to use my voice and platform to inspire others, no matter what they're going through, and remind them they are MORE than it all.
​
I advocate for those living with chronic illness and work to raise awareness of the daily challenges faced by people with disabilities. On a deeper level, I pray my story will encourage anyone facing unimaginable obstacles, and keep them hoping and believing for MORE.
​
If God gave me the strength to climb my mountains, He will provide you the tools for you to do the same.
​
The mountains are calling, and I invite you to climb them with me. Together, we'll prove that we are MORE than this world and any pain or heartache it brings.
