Bio

Genevieve is in her final semester of undergraduate studies in Washington D.C. at American University. She is majoring in the interdisciplinary studies of Communications, Legal Institutions, Economics and Government in the School of Public Affairs. She is also studying dance, continuing a lifelong commitment to the art.

Originally from Wake Forest, North Carolina, Genevieve has been a part of the bleeding disorders community for as long as she can remember. She attended chapter walks and annual conferences with her mom, participating in her first Advocacy Days when she was 15. She first got involved due to her mother’s Factor I deficiency. Since then, she has worked on issues that affect the bleeding disorders community at the state level as Advocacy Director at the Bleeding Disorders Foundation of North Carolina, and at the national level while interning with the policy division of the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation.

Genevieve enjoys the many forms of advocacy work that she is a part of and is proud to advocate with BD SUMHAC to make sure bleeding disorders patients have access to the care they need.
