In this capacity, he advances education, advocacy, research, and community outreach, working to dismantle the stigma surrounding epilepsy and expanding access to essential resources. He has contributed to several national epilepsy committees, including the Epilepsy Policy Advisory Committee and the Affiliate Agreement Working Group.
