In this episode, I chat with Parvathy Krishnan, a rare mom and the Foundation Alliance Manager at Global Genes. Global Genes provides hope for the more than 400 million people affected by rare disease around the globe. They fulfill their mission by helping patients find and build communities, gain access to information and resources, connect to researchers, clinicians, industry, government, and other stakeholders, share data and experiences, stand up, stand out, and become effective advocates on their own behalf.

Parvathy Krishnan earned her MS from Rutgers University, NJ and her clinical training from Mayo Clinic of Health Sciences, Rochester, MN. She has worked as a clinical dietitian at Duke University Medical Center and has gained experience in the nonprofit world from her role as a Patient Engagemen and Advocate in NC.

Parvathy is a speaker, panelist and often serves on national and international efforts to promote patient and caregiver experience. As a mom to two medically complex children, Yash and Ira, Parvathy is passionate in helping others find their voice and message. She loves sunshine, gardening and traveling.
