Miranda Finn

Hello! I’m Miranda Finn, a resident of Gillette, Wyoming. I am an English professor at a wonderful community college. My and Eric’s toddler son was diagnosed with OCNDS one month before his third birthday. We feel fortunate that he received his diagnosis early on so we can connect him to the resources he needs to live a beautiful life. We are also grateful for his early diagnosis because it answered so many questions that we had about his delayed development. While we can’t peer into the future and see what our son’s life will be like in five years, ten years, etc., thanks to the CSNK2A1 Foundation, we at least have an idea of what the years ahead may hold and what we can do to best help our son. We are also deeply grateful for the community that has welcomed us with open arms and brought considerable comfort on tough days. I was so happy to be asked to serve on the PAB. I am looking forward to sharing the knowledge I have learned with other parents and I will value the opportunity to offer advice on how to best advocate for our children. I am also a deeply empathetic person who wants to help other parents navigate life with this ultra-rare disorder. In my free time, I love to spend time with family and friends, read, visit art museums, go the movies, and cheer on the Ohio State Buckeyes and Cleveland Browns.
