Meet the Team

Kendra Adams

“My friend and his family were very involved with the chapter, and I saw what it meant to them. I continue to be involved because of the wonderful community our chapter supports.”

Brittany Selby

Secretary

“My son was born with Hemophilia A – we had no history. Born just before the COVID-19 lockdowns, the HTC put us in touch with GOBDF. The organization did so much for us during that time, and I got involved to be able to provide that feeling to others.”

^{OSU Bleeding and Clotting Disorders Center}

“I believe HTCs exist for the patients, and the chapter is the HTC partner who helps patients between their yearly visits.  GOBDF provides community, education, and resources to patients the HTC couldn’t provide on its own.  Serving on the Medical Advisory Team allows me the opportunity to serve clinically and in the community!”

involved because during my tenure, I have witnessed the huge impact the chapter has had on helping patients and families learn about bleeding disorders and teach them to manage their disorder successfully.”
