Quotes:
"I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was eight years old. I was bullied by other students, treated differently by school administrators and teachers. I felt compelled to educate others so kids today wouldn't go through what I did."
"Everyone has a safety story; you don't have to be a safety health professional to have a safety story."
"You never know when someone will have a seizure, and it's good to know what to do. The more people know, the safer we all are."
"Dispelling myths about people swallowing their tongue or putting something between their teeth is crucial."
"You took it into your hands to do something you are passionate about, to help other people, and make the world a safer place."
"From 2010 until this year, I founded and ran the Epilepsy Alliance for Young Adults, a local support group in the DC area that held small local events for those with the disorder and promoted epilepsy education."
"Never put anything in their mouth and never hold them down. Time the seizure and remain calm. Stay with this person until their seizure has ended and they've regained consciousness."
