Meet Our New Editor Alexandra Blasetti-Kuhn
Diagnosed with celiac disease at age 12, Alexandra was born in Canada and raised in Argentina. She participated in two celiac camps, which highlighted the importance of life in nature and education about celiac disease, while fostering long-lasting friendships. Her mother also has celiac disease and is a volunteer with the local Celiac Association in Patagonia. « I met Margaret 4 years ago when I had just arrived in Canada. Her passion for a healthy lifestyle and involvement with the celiac association deeply resonated with me. I’m happy now to assist her with the newsletter. »
