Kylie co-founded Little Stroke Warriors with fellow mother and advocate Dee Banks in 2016. Since the inception of Little Stroke Warriors, Kylie has been actively involved in advocating for education, awareness and funding for research into Childhood and Neonatal Stroke. A major achievement has been the development of the My Family Stroke Journey resource in collaboration with the Stroke Foundation and the awarding of the “Improving Life After Stroke” award in the 2018 Stroke Foundation awards. Outside of Kylie’s work with Little Stroke Warriors and the Stroke Foundation, she is actively involved in advocating for children with Cerebral Palsy via liaisons with the Cerebral Palsy Alliance and has provided consumer consultation services to the NSW Paediatric Rehabilitation Service working group on Telehealth. Kylie is mother to 5 year old Anika who suffered a stroke in-utero.

Since November 2021, I am working as a senior physician at the University Hospital Tübingen (UKT), Department of Neurology & Stroke. I am responsible for the stroke unit, IMC, ICU and the emergency department. I did my residency starting in February 2011 in the university hospital of Munich (LMU) and completed my training in February 2019. During my training, I was primarily employed in neurological acute and intensive care. From December 2019 until October 2020, I was working in telemedicine for the Neurovascular Network of Southwest Bavaria (NEVAS). Scientifically, I first worked in the research group of Prof. Dr. M. Strupp on dizziness and balance disorders, especially vestibular and cerebellar disorders and their treatment options. I completed my habilitation in neurology on the topic "Improvement of the diagnosis of vertigo syndromes and therapy of cerebellar vertigo disorders" in March 2020. In the context of this scientific occupation, I raised a BMBF grant of 1,044,865 EUR for the now completed, multicenter, international ALCAT study (grant number: 01KG1422). However, as my clinical focus was - as mentioned above - mainly in acute/emergency and intensive care medicine, I decided to establish an additional scientific focus in vascular medicine (working group of Prof. Dr. L. Kellert). In the meantime, I have also published very successfully in this field, regarding the acute treatment options in stroke including intravenous thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy and clinical factors for success and outcome. Further funding I have obtained was in the context of a - currently ongoing - monocentric study on the efficacy of ipad-based speech therapy after stroke ("Lexi Study", funding amount 10.000 € by Boehringer Ingelheim).

Because of the non-commercial character of the Angels Initiative it moved within the company first to the Medical division and this year to Health Care Affairs & Patient Engagement. Since the launch of the Angels Initiative 5 years ago it developed to a community of more than 61.000 healthcare professionals from 5.500 hospitals in 130 countries.
