Learn About Our
Bleedership Team
The Bleedership Team of the Lowcountry Period Pixies consists of VIP Volunteers who have stepped up to the plate to volunteer their services in leadership. Our leaders come from all walks of life and have one thing in common – their strong desire to ensure that every menstruator in our community has access to menstrual hygiene products. Meet the team:
Melissa Soule
Melissa Soule is the President of our organization. She is a single mom to a teenage son, Ben. She also works full-time as a teacher for the state virtual program, VirtualSC, and as a licensed mental health therapist. Feeling the need to make an impact in the community, she began the Lowcountry Period Pixies. Melissa’s passion is advocacy.
Lisa Ross
Lisa is a social psychologist who teaches at the College of Charleston. Her teaching and research interests include mental health , family dynamics, and unpredictability beliefs and experiences. She and her partner have two adult daughters, and her hobbies include stand-up comedy and storytelling. A friend invited her to a period packing party in 2019 (thanks, Cristy!) and she’s been involved with LPP ever since.
Katie Beth Preston
Katie Preston is a mom to two teenage boys. She works full-time as a bookkeeper for a woman-owned and operated trucking brokerage. Katie has volunteered for various community organizations since she was a teenager. She is excited to help the Lowcountry Period Pixies grow & meet the needs of every menstruator.
Emily Evans
Emily is a Charleston native and lifelong Lowcountry resident. She works as a Financial Center Manager for a local credit union and has a background in finance and management. A longtime believer in giving back, one of Emily’s favorite ways to spend her time is volunteering with organizations throughout her community. She believes strong communities are built by people who are willing to show up, help, and uplift one another. Emily also loves traveling with her high school sweetheart and learning about different cultures and communities. She was drawn to the Lowcountry Period Pixies because she believes every menstruator deserves dignity, respect, safety, and access to the basic necessities they need.
