Makena reviews personal and family medical history, facilitates genetic testing, and helps interpret genetic testing results to help families throughout the diagnostic process.  

Makena's interest in genetics began in high school and was solidified throughout her education.

She sees great value in being able to connect individuals in similar circumstances to help them adapt to their diagnosis.
