My ADHD Story
I grew up surrounded by ADHD as it’s part of my family story. I was diagnosed as an adolescent, but I didn’t fully understand what that meant and how deeply it impacted me until my adulthood. When I became a therapist, I realized how much of the ADHD conversation still focused on "fixing" instead of embracing and adapting. That awareness and my own lived experience motivated me toward advocacy and community education.

Why I’m Involved with the ADHD Community
I am fortunate enough to have grown up in a very supportive community that has embraced by ADHD traits. That support reduced feelings of shame and blame, allowing me to flourish. Through CHADD, I get to help connect clinical knowledge, lived experience, and advocacy so that others can find community and don’t have to spend years figuring out who they are on their own.

What I Hope to Achieve on CHADD’s Board
My goal is to support CHADD’s ongoing growth in inclusion and representation. I want to help bring forward more diverse voices, including women, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, AuDHD, and late-identified adults. I also hope to support CHADD's efforts to become a space where professionals, parents, and people with ADHD can learn from each other, not just about each other.

How CHADD’s Mission Resonates with Me
CHADD’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by ADHD through education, advocacy, and support feels deeply personal. I’ve seen how access to accurate information and a supportive community can transform individuals and families. CHADD’s work reflects what I strive for every day: replacing stigma with understanding, isolation with connection, and shame with self-acceptance.

As a proud CHADD Board Member, I'm asking you to support our mission of ensuring everyone in the ADHD community has evidence-based resources, trusted help and support, and unwavering advocacy.
