Bridgette is a speech-language pathologist who was born and raised in Chicago. She and her husband Thomas live in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago with their dog Burgee, who is less excited but supportive about the prospects of them growing their family.

Our fertility journey can be described as a long, difficult, educational journey where we have learned more about ourselves, the process of conception, and the resources available to people struggling both with fertility and other medical conditions. We look forward to being a resource for others who may unfortunately be going through a similar journey.

Despite the loss, heartbreak, and difficulty of our fertility journey, we are grateful to friends, family, and organizations like the CCFB for supporting us in our desire to have a child and raise a family.

Bridgette and Thomas are recipients of a Willow Grant.
