For over a decade, Jenneh Rishe has worked as a Registered Nurse in a variety of settings, including internal medicine, trauma, kidney transplant, oncology, and leukemia/bone marrow transplant. After being diagnosed with endometriosis, Jenneh’s medical expertise provided her with the information and abilities to navigate how to finally get good care. Her passion for healthcare, education, and teaching encouraged her to use her skills to help other women better understand the disease.

Jenneh is from New Jersey, but has spent the previous ten years in Los Angeles. She enjoys jogging, writing, and spending time with her extremely supportive husband, family, and friends in her spare time. “Endometriosis is criminally poorly studied and dreadfully misunderstood, and I want to be a part of changing that, sooner rather than later,” she adds when asked why she was so passionate about creating The Endometriosis Coalition.
