I am a biologist and biomedical researcher by training. My research included trying to understand the role of one of the genes deleted in Williams Syndrome (WS). Several years after I learned about WS professionally, I had a son with WS--I'm still getting over the surprise ten years later. Now I am a mom to two boys each with different strengths and challenges, and just began a term as the President of the Board of Trustees of the Williams Syndrome Association--a role where I can use both my professional and personal experience to work to better lives of all individuals with WS.
