Born and raised in Costa Rica, Claudia Scott was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome in her early teens. Now she lives in the U.S., where she is the Capital Access Manager for Kiva Northwest Arkansas (NWA) at Startup Junkie and an advocate for Tourette's education and support. Claudia uses her experiences to support people with Tourette's, especially in Spanish-speaking communities.

During this episode, Claudia talks about:

  • How she discovered she had Tourette’s when she was growing up in Costa Rica
  • Her experience of how Tourette’s is viewed by the general public in Costa Rica and the United States
  • How her Tourette’s has changed over the course of her life, and how she managed through those changes
  • The support she provides to the Hispanic Tourette’s community, including a Tourette’s support group for Spanish speakers

Learn more about Claudia at her travel blog The Tourette Traveler and follow her on Instagram and Facebook.
