About Me

I'm a proud Chicagoan, microbiologist and mom of two food-allergic children. I founded Food Allergy Moms in 2014 to combat the sense of isolation that some families feel after a child's food allergy diagnosis.

​

More than simply sharing information or spreading awareness, our group gets you acquainted with other parents who  understand your life. My ultimate goal is to help others create lasting friendships that exist even outside the group. Absolutely all caregivers are welcome!
