Hello everyone!

[michaellasmith]

My name is Michaella and I am the new Volunteer Coordinator for LUPUS UK.

Before joining the wonderful lupus family I worked in offices carrying out various administrative roles. Then in 2018, I went on to begin a degree in Midwifery and while I love supporting women and their families, in recent months I realized it wasn't for me and towards the end of the course I stumbled upon a vacancy with LUPUS UK.

Since my sister's diagnosis of SLE many years ago and then my own in 2018, I have followed the amazing work the staff and volunteers have done and hold the charity very close to my heart. I am forever grateful for the difference the charity has made to ours and the lives of many and feel fortunate to have been given the opportunity give back.

I hope to be able to use my previous experience to support the wider lupus community.

Morning michaellasmithNice to meet you.

Since my diagnosis in 2020 I've found this forum extremely helpful.

The people on here are just like one big family.

I'm so so glad I found it.
