Tina was 33 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She discovered a bump
near her clavicle and went to her OGBYN who promptly sent her for a mammogram.
Tina is among a growing number of young women being diagnosed with breast cancer. Tina’s treatment started with six rounds of chemotherapy, followed by a double mastectomy earlier this summer. She is currently doing some rounds of low dosage chemotherapy throughout the rest of this year and recently started radiation treatment as well.

Tina works as a Government Relations Manager and works in public policy for
DoorDash. Tina loves to travel and goes to Ireland several times a year. Tina and her
fiancé Erik also spend a lot of time on outdoor adventures with their dog, Buddy.
