Awareness Is Prevention: What Blood Cancer Taught Me About My Health

Event Description
There’s no routine screening for blood cancer, but awareness saves lives. This Cancer Prevention Month webinar centers on one patient’s AML journey, from diagnosis during lockdown to life five years in remission—and shares actionable steps for recognizing symptoms, accessing trusted resources, and staying proactive after treatment.

Mary joined HealthTree in 2022 as a part of HealthTree's team to help expand into all blood cancers. She now works as HealthTree's Volunteer & Community Outreach Manager, helping to engage and involve community members in HealthTree's mission. When she isn't working, she loves being the fun aunt to her 13 nieces and nephews, attending concerts, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, and traveling to explore new cities.

Kristen lives in the Green Mountains of Vermont with her husband and dog and spends as much time as possible outdoors. She holds a master's degree in Social-Organizational Psychology from Columbia University. She was diagnosed at 30 years old with Acute Myeloid Leukemia while living in New York City at the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic in June 2020. Her work as a consultant in the leadership advisory space now ironically focuses on leadership development for healthcare executives including those responsible for delivering care. She received an allogenic stem cell transplant from her older brother in November 2020- thanks Billy.
