Dorie Shapiro

In her late thirties, Dorie Shapiro remains a dedicated and passionate advocate for the Usher 1F Collaborative. Living with Usher 1F herself, she has played a vital role in raising awareness and funds for a cure—personally organizing multiple fundraisers and supporting community engagement. As an Usher 1F Ambassador, Dorie serves as a vital liaison between the patient community, families, researchers, and the Board of Directors. Her family's commitment to the cause runs deep; her late mother, Laurie, was one of the Collaborative’s founding board members and served for nine years. Dorie currently works as a Customer Success Specialist in Tech Support at Attentive Mobile, where she brings strong communication and problem-solving skills to the tech world.
