Aliyah Novelli was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as an infant.  Today, she's paying it forward as a social worker at Jefferson Adult CF center in Philadelphia.  Aliyah is full of enthusiasm about her new program: mindfulness. The CF Foundation awarded her with a CF Impact grant to get it started. Aliyah launched her mindfulness program this year. It's for a program for adults 18 to 35 years old on CF modulators.

Aliyah earned her master's degree in social work at the University of Pennsylvania. She also got a bachelor's degree in Fine Arts in dance at Temple University.

Aliyah lives with her husband Mark and Mr. Boots (her polydactyl cat). They also have a Cavapoo dog named, Sammy.
