CFRI’s Executive Director, Siri Vaeth is sunshine to me. She’s a dear friend.
We met after Siri took on her role with the Cystic Fibrosis Research Institute. I consider Siri a dear friend, and a mentor. Siri is truly among the smartest people I know. She is an advocate for her daughter Tess, who has CF, and is an incredible advocate for the CF community. If you need legislation explained to you, Siri can help you. She can put it in a way you’d understand.
Siri has a master’s degree in social Welfare, she’s fluent in Spanish, she’s great at marketing and does a lot of public speaking…and is an all-around great person.
This episode is packed with information about legislation, colon cancer, health insurance and discussion about the fact that people of color are under-diagnosed, concerns for the future of CF and catching up about our kids.
