Highlights
- 2026 Young Advocate
April’s main areas of interest include policy and legislative advocacy, sharing her lived experience through storytelling, and media advocacy.
April is a nonprofit leader, wellness advocate, and community builder with more than 15 years of experience in corporate operations, program management, and community engagement. As founder and executive director of The Survivor’s Nest, she is passionate about improving the lives of people affected by cancer. Outside work, she finds joy in hiking, yoga, dance fitness, traveling, and building meaningful connections that inspire others to live well and thrive.
My hope is that my work with Living Beyond Breast Cancer helps individuals affected by breast cancer feel seen, supported, and empowered. I want people to know they don't have to navigate treatment, survivorship, or caregiving alone. I wholeheartedly believe that we are stronger together!
