Chronic Boss is the platform for ambitious women managing chronic conditions.

We explore the intersection of career, chronic illness, and women’s health unfiltered and unapologetic.

The Chronic Boss Scholarship is an educational award for ambitious students living with chronic conditions. We honor women who have persevered through illness and demonstrated entrepreneurial spirit—whether by launching a business, blog, club, campaign, fundraiser, or creative initiative.

... So I created it. 

There’s something brilliantly unique about ambitious women living with chronic conditions. They possess their own brand of resilience, fire, passion, and work ethic. 

It is my belief that harnessing the collective power of these women to help each other level up in our life, health, and careers will be pure magic. 

Cheers to the future of the most powerful women’s platform to date.


The Chronic Boss was born out of my own lived experience. I am an ambitious and successful entrepreneur that prioritizes my health and self care out of necessity. It’s the only option if I wish to keep my autoimmune diseases in remission.

Through my first business, Patient Authentic, along with my work as a patient advocate, I’ve had the privilege to meet extraordinary women living with chronic conditions and changing the world.
