Highlights
- 2026 Young Advocate
Caitlin’s main areas of interest include sharing her lived experience through storytelling, policy and legislative advocacy, and scientific and research advocacy.
Caitlin is an artist living in Philadelphia. Since earning a degree in illustration, she has pursued several creative careers. Her work has ranged from creating window displays to designing patterns for apparel and stationery. She currently works at a design studio specializing in graphic design and watercolor painting. Outside work, Caitlin enjoys spending time with friends, playing with her dog, practicing yoga, and getting her hands dirty in her garden.
I hope that by sharing my story with other young people I can offer hope to those navigating a diagnosis — an experience that can feel isolating and overwhelming.
