About the Founder:

Laura Greenwald

Through her experiences, Laura noticed a gap between how epilepsy is commonly understood and how it’s actually lived. This realization led to the creation of Seeing Seizures, an initiative focused on making epilepsy more visible through storytelling, education, and community engagement.
