Meet our editorial team
Meet our dedicated team, driven by a strong commitment to sharing experiences, viewpoints, and resources, all with the goal of fostering stronger connections within the global sarcoma community through our blog, which serves as a platform for amplifying the voices of those affected by sarcoma. Amy, Gabi and Roger work as SPAGN volunteers for the blog editorial team and are sarcoma/GIST patients themselves.
Gabi Ott
Gabi took over the reins of Voices of Sarcoma blog in January 2024. Previously as editor and now as Editor-in-Chief, she has contributed tremendously to the success of the blog. Her ambition is to give a platform for the SPAGN member groups from all over the world and to support a global exchange on sarcoma related issues and advocacy work.
Roger Wilson
Roger serves on the SPAGN Board as honorary president. He has been writing about sarcoma and his experiences as a patient and advocate for over 20 years. His advocacy takes him to healthcare areas where sarcoma and its treatments are discussed and decided. As a founding member of SPAGN he has been an integral part of the blog team, in which his expertise shines through as a regular contributor.
Cory Archibald
Cory Archibald joined the SPAGN team in March 2023 as Director of Communications with enthusiasm and a fresh perspective. She has also become an active contributor to the blog in sharing valuable insights and engaging content with our audience. In addition, Cory is responsible for the promotion of the blog in social media.
