Bio: Nohora Gutierrez is a single mother of a disabled veteran, a caregiver of an elderly father with chronic conditions, a patient managing the invisible symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) for 15 years, and a 30 year retired Human Resources Analyst with a Master of Science in Industrial/Organizational Psychology living in South Florida over 50 years. As a lifelong learner, Nohora attended MS live events and webinars, in-person and virtual interactive support groups, and joined MS networks to participate in diverse MS research. Her goal evolved from individual level involvement in MS research to group level recruitment for a wider multifaceted inclusion and diversity approach in MS research participation. Her vast experience in utilizing the healthcare systems for her father, daughter, and herself have extensively broadened her passion for active community engagement as both a consumer and family advocate in organizations actively engaged in partnerships between healthcare systems and persons with lived experience in underrepresented communities. Nohora enjoys attending movie screenings, music concerts, local comedy clubs, and on a daily basis, practices guided meditation as well as completes multiple brain word games.
