Serena is an Ewing sarcoma survivor\, a Registered Art Therapist\, and a Behavioral Health Therapist. She was diagnosed at age 12 with metastatic cancer and completed 14 rounds of chemotherapies and 31 days of radiation. Serena’s lifeline during her treatments was art therapy. Because of how impactful it was for her\, she went into the mental health field to provide space for others. She currently is working as a therapist for neurodivergent children\, teens\, and young adults. \n \nMore about our Survivor Panel:\nGreg Lubin: Grew up in Virginia and was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at the age of 14. During his treatment\, he made a Make-A-Wish request to meet the Farrelly Brothers and have the opportunity to be in one of their movies. That experience had a lasting impact on him and inspired Greg to take a chance on pursuing a career in entertainment. Today\, Greg resides in Los Angeles\, California with his wife of three years\, Kacie. Greg works as a producer in film and television at Paul Feig’s production company\, Feigco Entertainment / Pretty Dangerous Pictures. His projects include Welcome to Flatch (Fox)\, The School for Good and Evil (Netflix)\, A Simple Favor\, and The Housemaid.
