History of the Condition 

Trishna was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) at 28 years old.

Trishna Says:

"I was diagnosed with relapsing MS in 2008, aged 28. I also live with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and chronic urticaria/angioedema. I have experience as a caregiver for my father and younger sister. My sister has ulcerative colitis and has experienced mental health issues, including PTSD, anxiety, and depression."

"I work full-time as a Spanish-English translator/analyst for a business intelligence company. In my spare time, I work with multiple stakeholders (including pharma, patient associations/charities, clinicians, patients and the healthcare industry) via my company, 'The Spark Global.'"

"I want to bring the patient voice into the healthcare journey, addressing issues that affect specific patient and cross-patient communities within the healthcare industry."
