Jennifer
Psoriatic Arthritis
Adult Honoree


Jennifer’s diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis wasn’t discovered until her mid-30’s. She has struggled for years with the cycle of symptoms that would appear and disappear, only to re-appear. After years of testing and therapies she can happily say that she has seen a great improvement and is able to effectively manage her flare-ups. She’s thankful for the Arthritis Foundation's educational resources and events because they bring people together to support one another through their journey.

Jennifer keeps a smile on her face because she believes there’s always something positive to focus on and there’s always someone who could use your smile to brighten their day.
