Hi, I’m Gali!
I’m here to help with your IBD.
Managing inflammatory bowel disease on your own can be overwhelming. Gali is a well-informed mobile friend and personal health guide who helps you learn about, track and proactively manage your Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. You don’t have to IBD alone.
The Gali Health Ambassador Program focuses on inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and ensures that the IBD community is directly involved in Gali’s design and development. Our ambassadors provide feedback, guidance and leadership within the Gali user community.
If you’d like to become a Gali Health Ambassador, please contact Director of Clinical Programs Kayla Kraich.

Tiffany has spent the majority of her career working in the non-profit sector with a focus on chronic illness. Her health education began in the home: her mother was diagnosed with primary-progressive MS when Tiffany was a toddler and a few years later her father was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. She knows firsthand the impact that chronic illness can have on a family. She earned her BA in history from UCLA and a short time later began working for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Southern California Chapter within its Programs and Services department. Most recently, she worked for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation as the education manager covering California. Her speciality is developing and managing programs and services to improve the day-to-day lives of those affected by chronic illnesses.
Jenna put her business degree to good use when she began her career working in HR. As an IBD patient, however, she soon discovered her true passions to be health and writing. She pursued a master’s degree in nutrition, but a flare forced her to drop out and take several months to recover. During this time she worked on her blog, The Comical Colon, and Instagram account @_jenna_ziegler, where she shares her medical journey in a comical light to encourage others to share their stories. The more she wrote about chronic illness advocacy, the more her passion for social media, marketing and storytelling blossomed. Jenna believes in the power of social media to connect us as humans, give a voice to those once unheard and remind us that we’re never alone. She is an aspiring fiction author and chronic journaler and lives with her husband Tyler and rescue cat Newbert in Tennessee.
