<p><strong>Why are you are interested in serving on the NAPMDD Board of Directors?</strong> Having pmdd, I feel as though I would be able to give good insight with my peers. My sister has also been diagnosed and we, together, have done a lot of research and talk daily about it.<br /><br /><strong>What strengths you could bring to the Board?</strong> I suffer from PMDD, anxiety and depression and can show empathy and sympathy towards those going through these disorders. I was a leader with weight watchers for 3 years before moving. <br /><br /><strong>How does PMDD and premenstrual health inspire you?</strong> It inspires me because I want to get the word out about this disorder. Before talking to my sister and ultimately getting diagnosed, I had no idea what pmdd was....and even still, most people I speak to have no clue.</p>
<p><strong>What are your other volunteer activities / hobbies / personal interests?</strong> Honestly, these last 2 years have been the most crippling I've had in my life. I don't do much outside of raising my children, cleaning, cooking and being with my husband who is in the Canadian Forces.</p>

<p><strong>Why are you are interested in serving on the NAPMDD Board of Directors?</strong> I am interested in serving as a Board Member at Large because I want to become a larger part of this growing organization. I would like to offer my professionalism, compassion and knowledge to the NAPMDD board of directors.<br /><br /><strong>What strengths you could bring to the Board?</strong> Leadership: I currently serve as a leader for several organizations.  My ultimate goal as a leader is to enrich the experience of the people in each organization. Leadership positions include "Lean In" leader for a circle of women in central Ohio (leanincircles.org); Section Representative for OBTA­ An Association for Business and Technology Teachers; Department Chair for the electives department at the school where I teach; Advisor for Business Professionals of America (student organization); and Facebook admin to Reynoldsburg, OH neighbors, Reynoldsburg Mama Friends and Positive Women Sharing (PWS). Teaching: I am a formally trained and licensed teacher. I have natural presentation skills and am able to teach people of all levels of understanding and background knowledge. I would like to offer my skills as a presenter/teacher to assist with the goals of NAPMDD. My teaching background is business so I would be useful in assisting with any marketing and financial initiatives. Other strengths include professionalism, organization, networking, advocacy, and support.<br /><br /><strong>How </strong>does<strong> PMDD and premenstrual health inspire you?</strong> PMDD is near and dear to my heart because I am a long­time sufferer. I have been suffering with PMDD for over 20 years. As a teenager, I let my parents know how I was feeling and my dad told me that, "it [was] just my hormones". Little did I know how right he was. Over the next couple of decades I would consistently suffer through all of the symptoms each month.  I was misdiagnosed time and time again with depression, but I could not shake the fact that I had at least one really good week each month. I decided to start some serious research to find out what was wrong with me which is when I discovered PMDD. This revelation gave me the solid ground to start talking with my family about what was happening with me. I reached out and found multiple support groups on Facebook and then came across NAPMDD. I owe everything to the current support group that is out there and really want to be part of the support and advocacy myself. This is why it inspires me.</p>

As an African American woman, I also think I would bring a different perspective.<br /><br /><strong>How </strong>does<strong> PMDD and premenstrual health inspire you?</strong> PMDD and premenstrual health inspire me because it directly affects me and women I know. It inspires me because I have a chance to do something about it by educating and supporting women with it.</p>

<p><strong>Why are you are interested in serving on the NAPMDD Board of Directors?</strong> I would love to be the voice for Antibiotic Therapy in treating PMDD. Receiving this therapy myself has reduced my symptoms by 80%.<br /><br /><strong>What strengths you could bring to the Board?</strong> I am passionate about helping women feel better, about getting past the worst of their symptoms, about feeling healthy and strong. My passion is my greatest strength.<br /><br /><strong>How </strong>does<strong> PMDD and premenstrual health inspire you?</strong> I was diagnosed with PMDD after suffering from it for over a year. I didn't realize that I had moderate PMS before that, and I've realized that even mild to moderate PMS can really affect a woman's life, and even if it's not as severe as PMDD, it still needs to be addressed. 80% of women are dealing with some form of PMS, and they all need help.</p>
<p><strong>What are your other volunteer activities / hobbies / personal interests?</strong> I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and I volunteer 4­6 hours a week, mainly on the weekends, looking for people who want a solution to this world's problems. I see antibiotic therapy as a HUGE help for women with PMDD, but ultimately, I see the Bible's promise of a paradise earth and a time when no one will say "I am sick" (Isaiah 33:24) as the ultimate solution.</p>
