CL OF THE MONTH
January, 2006
cl-dancer31
After being a member of our very active Birth Control board for many months, Jill joined us as a community leader exactly two years ago - December 30, 2003. Her knowledge of the topic and an ability to stay calm and professional despite the occasional odd question has kept the board moving forward, sharing the latest information on a subject important to all women. She and her co-cl, Judy, make a great team!
Name: Jillian
Communities: I help host the Birth Control and the Sexual Health boards.
What brought you to Health and Well-Being? I had no one I could talk to about intimate issues when I was growing up. After struggling to learn on my own I wanted to be able to help other women like me who needed help with questions and a supportive environment.
How has your experience as a community leader affected your life? When I was growing up everyone else seemed to be able to cope so well, while I was a bundle of insecurity wrapped in a cloud of questions. I thought there must be other women like me in the world and through the wonderful resource of the iVillage Health & Well-Being channel I found that not only was I not alone but there was a marvelously supportive community where we can help one another. It is impossible to tell you what a comfort that has been to me.
What's your most memorable and/or entertaining experience as a CL? The most memorable and gratifying moments are when members will thank us for the information and support that we as CLs have provided.
What are some of your offline hobbies and interests? Since retiring as a professional dancer I’m trying my hand at choreography and I also teach Pointe. And, for recreation DF and I SCUBA and Skydive both of which are awesomely thrilling!
Final thoughts? I would like to say how much I appreciate and value the support and guidance of the Health & Well-Being CMs and especially cl-judie_rae who is my roll model. (Hugs Judie!) It’s a huge thrill to be honored as CL of the Month for something I so enjoy doing. I love being a part of iVillage and being able to help make a difference!
