AO Leading Researchers

Today, I took a big step in my advocacy journey.

I’ve reached out to two of the world’s leading researchers on Agent Orange — Dr. Jeanne Stellman and Dr. Arnold Schecter — to share my story as an Australian second-generation survivor, and to connect the lived experience of children like me with the decades of science they’ve contributed.

Both doctors have spent years uncovering the truth about dioxin’s multigenerational impact. I’m hoping to build bridges between their research and what so many of us have endured in silence for decades.

I’ve also shared my website with them, which documents my medical history alongside global studies — in the hope of pushing for recognition, justice, and change.

This isn’t just about me — it’s for every child of a Vietnam veteran who was left behind in the fallout.
