Statement

In response to the Figure Magazine article listing me as the President of the PCOSA, I wanted to formally state that I am no longer associated with the PCOSA and have not been associated with that organization in any way since my resignation in October of 2005. The article was actually written before my resignation. I had not made any kind of public statement until now because I did not want to cause any harm, but I realize now that it's time to be open.

I volunteered for the PCOSA for over 5 years. I gave my all for the community to the point that I nearly bankrupt myself financially and emotionally. I came to realize slowly over time that I could not meet the mission alone and until all were unified, it would not happen. As with many organizations there is always red tape, politics and personal agendas. My heart was truly in my volunteer work (I was never, ever a paid employee) but there comes a time when you have to put your own well-being and that of your family first. I chose to not be a part of it any longer but I will remain an advocate for women with PCOS.

I will always do whatever I can do to help further the cause and reach out to those who need help. I will do this, with integrity, through my volunteer (ALL volunteer, just FYI) work with PCOSLiving and EPC.
