Her condition impacts an estimated 2-3% of the world's population.[7][8][9] On May 5, 2018, she organized the first Visual Snow Conference at University of California, San Francisco.[10][11] Domb worked with researchers at academic institutions,[12][13] such as King's College London,[14] Monash University, and the University of Colorado, to fund new studies and treatment options for Visual Snow Syndrome.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]
Domb has contributed to Visual Snow Syndrome awareness.[27][28][29][30] Her nonprofit was the official charity partner of the 45th Daytime Emmy Awards.[31] Her cause received support from celebrities,[32][33]such as Ringo Starr,[34] Tommy Davidson, and John Salley.
Domb attended the University of Miami and holds a Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies. Her academic areas of concentration are behavioral sciences and health communication. She previously worked as a freelance voice actor, DJ at WVUM 90.5 FM "The Voice", and a reporter for the Coral Gables Community Foundation[35] in Coral Gables, Florida.
