Introduction Hi! I'm Jackie Zimmerman, and I'm a patient advocate for IBD and MS. I was diagnosed with MS in 2006 and IBD in 2009 and it's been quite a roller coaster ride! I turned my experiences into a source of positivity when I founded Girls With Guts, a non-profit that supports women with IBD. I've been blogging and advocating for my own health and those in my community for over 10 years! Now I work for WEGO Health, helping to connect health advocates to opportunities that will get their voices heard and help them grow!
Interests Patient advocacy, social media, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, raising awareness
