In 2018, her life was completely changed for the better when she started a gene modulator medication. Along with her CF, she became mostly deaf throughout her late high school & early college years. Her hearing loss came from an IV medication she would go on while in the hospital. Since losing 85% of her hearing, she has received a cochlear implant in her right ear and has a new way she looks at life. Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system. Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices. It causes these fluids to become thick and sticky. They then plug up tubes, ducts, and passageways.
