The Bleedership Team
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 - President
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 - Education Liason
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.
Emily Evans - Secretary
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.
Regina Keene - Treasurer
Regina D. Keene brings more than 25 years of experience in finance, human resources, project management, and organizational operations to her role as Treasurer. With a career spanning government, nonprofit, and private-sector organizations, Regina has a knack for turning complex details into organized, practical solutions that help organizations thrive. Beyond her professional work, Regina genuinely enjoys serving her community and giving back. She believes that strong organizations create stronger communities and is passionate about using her skills and experience to support causes that make a difference. She brings a collaborative spirit, a healthy appreciation for spreadsheets, and plenty of enthusiasm to her role as Treasurer.
Kylie Campbell - Outreach & Volunteer Coordinator
Kylie, originally from New Jersey, moved to South Carolina with her husband and two dogs, and she’s loved making South Carolina her new home. She has always had a passion for helping others and giving back to her community. She enjoys spending time with my husband and their dogs, soaking up the sunshine at the beach, and exploring everything South Carolina has to offer. She’s excited to connect with others, make a positive difference, and be part of a community that gives back.
Karlie Fox - Grant Writer
Karlie is a girl still trying to figure out what she wants to do-but she’s really done it all. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre Design and Technologies, has worked in amusement parks, restaurants, as a travel advisor, in offices, and more. She has always enjoyed volunteering or helping others, and has supported LPP since 2020 because of her mom. She loves cooking, playing with her cat Blair, reading books, and traveling (especially to visit her sister down in Orlando).
Lola Mainieri - Social Media Coordinator
Lola Mainieri holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, where she focused her academic research on menstruation and the experiences surrounding it. Most recently, she had the opportunity to present her work at the 2025 Association for Women in Psychology Conference in Santa Fe, NM. Lola plans to continue her education by pursuing a graduate degree, with the goal of expanding her research on menstruation and contributing to efforts that address period poverty and reduce menstrual stigma.
