About the Presenters
Ali Moresco is the founder of Moresco Public Relations + Communications. Once focusing on entertainment PR and talent relations, Moresco made a pivot to healthcare PR four years ago when her world was turned upside down by an undiagnosed illness. It took her two years and eight specialists to find a doctor that would eventually crack the case- multiple complex chronic diseases and tick-borne diseases. Fortunately, Moresco pulls her experience living with chronic disease and “professional patient” skills to provide clients with experience-backed communications strategies in building loyal, long-lasting relationships with both media and patient communities.
Olivia Abrams is the CEO and Co-Founder of TiCK MiTT, a non-toxic tick removal product for people and pets. Diagnosed with Lyme disease at 8 years old, Olivia is still discovering how the complexities of the disease relate to her own health. The experience has led her on a mission to reduce cases of tick-borne illnesses by teaching individuals the importance of safe tick protection.
