I'm glad I finally got diagnosed with bipolar disorder. It doesn't mean I'm “crazy.” Sometimes, your brain gets sick just like your lungs do.
Corrine graduated from the College of Staten Island in Staten Island, New York, with a bachelor's degree in English writing and a minor in psychology. Corrine plans to go back to school to obtain a master's degree in social work, which is something she will be able to do now that she takes Trikafta®. She enjoys working out, playing and training with her new puppy, and reading. She is very interested in politics and trying to figure out how she can make the world a better place with compassion and radical love. Corrine also has been sharing her journey through the pandemic on a new podcast called, “The Rin_y0 Show: Cystic Fibrosis Through a Pandemic,” which can be found on Podbean, Spotify, and iTunes, and she also has been sharing on Instagram. Corrine and her family have been hosting a fundraiser twice a year for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation called Corrine's Pride, which was originally a 5K that is now a “Thirsty Thursday.” She plans to eventually take over the fundraiser and return to raising funds via a 5K.
