She was diagnosed with MRKH at 17. She is a geoscientist with an analytical brain and works as a project manager interpreting satellite imagery.
Her passion for a number of years has been to help support the community which has helped her, by helping others. She advocates for MRKH, support and improved research and care and started to write a public blog in 2014 which launched her outreach into advocacy more by chance and she hopes her writing, which helped her has become a useful resource for the public and community also.

Her professional experience working with those with MRKH, both through one to one therapy or group therapy sessions, brings so much value to the MRKH Connect team.
Charlie’s mum provides an objective view and different insight, providing balance to the team. Her input has also been very helpful in compiling the public resources based on what she wished had been available when Charlie was diagnosed.
