⁠
"When I was working as a nurse I started in paediatric oncology, where I noticed a lot of my patients found the experience easier if they had things to represent them," she tells . ⁠
⁠
"That’s what got me realising that we don’t have much representation for medical differences out there. The world has been pushing for more diversity and inclusion, but not so much for medical inclusion. There’s great work in progress, but it could be better."⁠
