Aubrey's short bio in her own words
I am a young professional working as a Technical Support Analyst in San Diego, California. I graduated about a year ago from Colorado State University with a double major in Communication Studies and Spanish. I enjoy going to the beach, playing tennis, traveling, and spending time with loved ones!
After falling extremely ill during my freshman year of college, I was diagnosed with a Primary Immune (PI) disease called Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID). After years of health complications and biopsies, I have also been diagnosed with interstitial lung disease. I rely on donated plasma in order to live a full and (somewhat) healthy life.
After dealing with depression, anxiety, and uncertainty, I decided to start a journey to get my life back and create the future I desired. I developed my own website where I began writing articles about my experience, in which I have gotten the chance to uplift others and connect with them about their experiences. My goal is to continue sharing my story and raising awareness about PI diseases!
