Executive Leadership
Behind Sickle Cell Prodigy is a passionate team of survivors, advocates, clinicians, parents, donors, research scientists, and healthcare professionals united by a single purpose — to help patients not only survive sickle cell disease, but thrive after it.​
Our team brings together expertise in advocacy, health communication, research, clinical trial design, patient engagement, digital marketing, and wellness programming. Many of us are lived-experience experts — individuals who have walked the path of transformative therapy and now dedicate our work to guiding others through it.
