Areas of expertise

“I believe that someone with mental illness is just like someone with a diagnosis like hypertension: Sometimes they need medication; sometimes they don’t. Either way, the illness shouldn’t prevent them from enjoying life.
I really enjoy contributing to mental health content for the Flo app and blog. Mobile tools can help spread knowledge about mental well-being far and wide, and I love being able to reach so many people with empowering advice through this platform.”
