About Miranda:

Miranda Chappel-Farley is an outdoor recreation enthusiast and sleep neuroscientist. She was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea at age 21 and now hopes to raise awareness of this sleep disorder to reduce stigma and combat sleep apnea stereotypes as a person wearing “both hats” as a patient and scientist. As a speaker with Project Sleep’s Rising Voices program, Miranda shares her story from first experiencing symptoms as an adolescent, to receiving an official diagnosis and treatment in college, and how this personal journey informs her approach to research today.
