Pacific Northwest Chapter

For over 10 years Selina has been active in the FSHD community as a fundraiser and supporter both in the Los Angeles area and more recently, the Pacific Northwest.  With numerous years of experience as a community leader, she hopes to grow the reach of the PNW Chapter to all those affected by FSHD in the area.  Several members of her family have been diagnosed with FSHD and she believes that continued advocacy, education and research will soon lead to a cure or treatment.

Selina had careers in Nutrition and Dietetics and Education before recently retiring to Washington State.  She spent 15 years serving in leadership positions in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA while raising her two boys, Thomas and Andrew.  She lives with her husband, Russell, in beautiful Gig Harbor, WA.  She is an avid tennis player and loves cooking, reading, and travel.   She looks forward to working with community members to meet their expectations for the PNW Chapter.
