Jackie Zimmerman is an accomplished entrepreneur, marketing professional, former roller derby league president, and non-profit founder with a “can-do” energy that is immediately evident when you speak with her. She is also a patient advocate for individuals with multiple sclerosis, receiving the diagnosis during college, at the age of 21. In the face of this world-rocking news, Jackie powerfully pivoted, sharing her story with others and later, becoming a patient participant in clinical research.
