Ryan Sarshuri (She/They) is an Education Specialist I at the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation, whose background comes from biochemistry research and reproductive healthcare. Ryan received a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Tennessee in 2020. Since then, Ryan has used their background at NBDF to educate, advocate, and inform in the specialist role by helping to lead the National Youth Leadership Institute (NYLI) program, plan sessions for the National Bleeding Disorders Conference, assist with the creation of the Clotting Cascade 3D Video Series, and assist in the development of the newly relaunched Own Your Path program. Because of Ryan’s role with the NYLI program, she loves finding new ways to engage teens/young people within the bleeding disorders community. Ryan is married and has two dogs, Lily (a big lab/hound mix) and Nacho (a chihuahua), both of whom like to sleep while she works. Ryan is very excited to be able to work for NBDF and the bleeding disorders community.
