We are passionate about supporting you on your Cancer
Journey
Cancer support, community and helping others on a cancer journey is my life passion and mission and purpose.
I’m a journalist, entrepreneur, producer and cancer advocate. I’ve spent the past 20 years working at ABC’s Good Morning America as Deputy Editorial Producer, Producer of Magician David Blaine , founder of TheMOMS.com and host of a SiriusXM radio show, a television show called Moms & The City and hosted over 400 of our celebrity Mamarazzi events (including Jennifer Garner, Sarah Jessica Parker, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman and more!). But it was my cancer journey, and people all over the country who inspired me to create, My Cancer Family.
Being a survivor affects choices I make in business and my zest for adventure. Being a survivor affects my choices to continue daily learning and positive living. Being a survivor has helped me manage meaningful relationships and made me a better mother. Being a survivor also causes insecurities, emotionally and physically, but speaking honestly, sharing and connecting with so many others makes it all easier and worthwhile.
My cancer journey and the community that came with it gives my life purpose and meaning. It is because of my cancer journey and my cancer community that I’m so proud to share with you, MyCancerFamily.com
I’m beyond thrilled to join Denise to bring My Cancer Family to life. In 8th grade, I lost my Nana. Every year until then, I spent the summer with her in the suburbs of Boston and in Maine. She was my most beloved. Even now as I write this tears fall down my face. I know she has watched over me as my angel and seen my wonderful children and loves my husband and extended family as much as I do, but I will always wish she could be here to see the cousins play together and grow up. My daughter is named after her and my work with My Cancer Family is in honor of her. It is a true blessing to bring My Cancer Family to life with Denise and help all those impacted from Cancer have the support they need on this journey.
Before joining My Cancer Family, I lead marketing and sales teams for health tech start-ups. Prior to my time as a CMO, I was a marketing executive at Johnson & Johnson where I got to work on some of the worlds most beloved brands. My family and I had the amazing opportunity to live and work in Singapore. I received a MBA from Kellogg and a BA from Smith College.
My mother received her cancer diagnosis when I was pregnant—the doctors called with her biopsy results when she’d flown in to visit me in Brooklyn. Last fall, my cousin’s wedding was two weeks away when her bloodwork came back, acute Leukemia/Lymphoma. Each time, the shock was followed by a million questions. Each time, our family sought information and guidance everywhere we could find it.
We weren’t alone. Everyone I know has been touched by cancer, and has faced the same challenges to understand the journey ahead. When Denise and Colleen shared My Cancer Family with me, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to give back. It’s an honor to apply my career in technology and design (Yahoo!, Google) to this cause and this community.
