The Girl with the Spine Thing

I'm a graduate from the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education at the University of Toronto, Canada.

​

I was diagnosed with severe Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis when I was 11 years old. Since the initial diagnosis, I've had countless meetings with physicians, I've worn a back-brace, and I've managed to live a fairly normal life. By my choice, on May 23, 2019, I  underwent Spinal Fusion surgery to correct my spinal curves, and to prevent them from worsening. 

​

I've decided to create this blog to support others who have been either directly or indirectly affected by Scoliosis, with the overreaching goal of educating the public by my personal journey.
