So exciting to see University of Notre Dame research featured during the football game!
I’m proud to be a student at the University of Notre Dame, where people are working on research that can make a real difference in healthcare.

Living with spina bifida and using catheters myself, I’m especially interested in Professor Ana Lidia Flores-Mireles and her team’s work to help prevent catheter-related infections. It’s amazing to see research addressing challenges that affect people like me.

Over 1 million patients get catheter-related infections annually.

A $1 adaptation developed at Notre Dame could save thousands of lives each year.

Earlier today, fans at Notre Dame Stadium Professor Ana Flores-Mireles and her team that have developed a simple silicone-oil coating that keeps bacteria and fungi from sticking to the device entirely.

For a long time, accepting myself wasn’t easy. 💛

In this clip from my conversation on NAFC’s Life Without Leaks podcast, I share how building Hidden helped me see myself differently, gain confidence, and become more open about my experiences.

I started sharing my story because I know what it feels like to struggle with something others may not understand. If being open helps even one person feel less alone, it’s worth it.

We all deserve to feel comfortable being ourselves. 💛

I’m excited to share that I’m now the President of the Access-ABLE Club at University of Notre Dame. ☘️

The club works to promote disability advocacy, spread awareness, and build a community that inspires change.

For me, this is about more than a title. Growing up with a disability has given me a different perspective, and I want to use that experience to help others feel seen, heard, and included.

I’m looking forward to learning, listening, and using my voice to help make a difference - on campus and beyond. 💚

There’s something pretty cool about seeing an idea become a real product, packed up and arriving by the van full.

Summer break is over, and just like that… it’s back to the busy college life. 🎓

Classes, football games, dorm life, late nights, good food, friends, events, traditions, and somehow always somewhere to be. 😅

Back to campus. Back to the Notre Dame rhythm. 💚☘️

What started as a way to overcome my own personal challenges became a journey that helped me find confidence, learn so much, and grow both personally and professionally.
Along the way, I realized I can do so much more than I ever thought - from building a business to using my voice for advocacy and helping others. Looking back, I’m grateful for every challenge that brought me here. And I’m still growing. ✨
