In my free time, I love being outdoors, whether it’s going for a walk, enjoying nature, or just soaking up the fresh air. I’m an avid reader and always have a book in hand, whether it’s for relaxation or personal growth. I also enjoy playing pickleball—it’s a great way to stay active and have fun! Most importantly, I cherish spending time with my friends and family, creating memories and sharing laughs whenever possible.

When I first started my journey to figure out why I was snoring, doctors initially thought a deviated septum was the cause, leading me to undergo a septoplasty. When that didn’t resolve the issue, I was officially diagnosed with sleep apnea and prescribed a CPAP machine. However, I quickly realized CPAP wasn’t for me—I unknowingly removed it in my sleep, struggled with the tubing as a side sleeper, and felt like I was gasping for air, as if I were riding a motorcycle at high speed. Frustrated but determined to find a solution, I reached out to my doctor about Inspire, and the rest is history!

I became a patient ambassador because I know firsthand how life-changing Inspire therapy can be, and I want to help others who are struggling with sleep apnea find the right solution for them. I remember how overwhelming it felt to navigate different treatment options, and I want to provide support, guidance, and real-life insight to those considering Inspire. If sharing my journey can help even one person regain their sleep, health, and quality of life, then it’s absolutely worth it!
