FOUNDER, BOARD PRESIDENT

jill.guinan@theperiodpantryproject.org

I grew up in Lancaster, Ohio and moved to Columbus in 2007. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Ohio Dominican University in 2013, I became a Certified Community Health Worker in 2015 and enrolled at the Ohio State University College of Social Work and College of Public Health in 2017 for a dual degree graduate program. Through my work experience, I have worked with children and families in multiple settings. My experience as a single parent has made me passionate about helping others in that situation because I know that I couldn’t be where I am today without the support of my friends, family, and community.
