Meeting with her Congressman to encourage support of The OPEN ACT, Medicaid reimbursement, and access for persons with disabilities, gives her the opportunity to share the patient family perspective with policy makers. She is currently serving on the Global Genes Foundation Alliance Advisory Council, their Summit Planning Committee for the 2018 International RARE Patient Advocacy Summit, and on the developing team for the Genetics 101 class. She is an Ambassador for Illumina; for the Rare Undiagnosed Genetic Disease (RUGD) program. Gay works with key opinion leaders like Rare Science, Global Genes, EveryLife Foundation, and other patient advocacy organizations to engage through social media, conferences, and personal networking. Gay started her career in Sales and Sales Training with Glaxo Inc. where she directed a study on Physician Impressions of Corticosteroids and how to best position them in the marketplace. Gay uses this foundation of science and her own experience to relate the burden of disease, bringing awareness through advocacy and public speaking.
