  • People with mobility issues think and communicate every day and have other profound ways of moving In 1989, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Five years later, she left the only job she ever wanted due to worsening symptoms of MS. In 2021 Patti returned to university to pursue graduate studies at the University of Toronto. In 2005 she graduated with a Ph.D. in Teacher Development. Fourteen years later, Patti discovered her life with MS was far richer when she focused on living each day as her most vibrant self. This shift in mindset became her newfound purpose; to help other women with MS do the same. She created an online platform, FEARLESS, with MS, where she shares her knowledge and experiences of living with MS. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
