Please tell us why you are involved in the Epilepsy community? Do you have Epilepsy?
I have been involved in the Epilepsy community since I was about 13 years old. I was diagnosed when I was 12 and attended Camp Great Rock -- a camp for kids and teens with epilepsy -- the following summer. The counselors and staff really inspired me to get involved, raise awareness and not be embarrassed about having epilepsy. I'm glad they caught me at that age because I was already dealing with mean girls at school so my diagnosis was yet another hurdle to overcome. I went on to speak on panels on behalf of the Epilepsy Foundation, raise funds for Children's Hospital, start an epilepsy awareness club in undergrad and attend the Walk for Epilepsy in D.C. with my family sporadically throughout my undergraduate and graduate careers.
