Angela Chlebowski, Board Member

Angela Chlebowski lives in Fairfield, CT with her husband Jonny and their three children: Jillian, Ian and Chad. Chad was born on August 1, 2008 and was diagnosed with PMD in July 2013. He is the first person to be affected by PMD in their family.

Angela has been a Registered Nurse since 2001. She earned her BSN and MSN from Fairfield University. After Chad was diagnosed Angela felt a strong need to learn more about PMD and other similar illnesses. She became a LEND fellow (Leadership Education Neurodevelopmental Disabilities) at WIHD during the time of 2014-2015 and received her certificate in children with special healthcare needs from New York Medical College. She is currently working as a faculty member at Sacred Heart University where she teaches undergraduate nurses.

Angela’s passion is to teach incoming healthcare workers about supporting families and those affected by PMD and other leukodystrophies. She hopes to help make a difference in the lives of children and families affected by a PMD or a leukodystrophy through respect, caring, and education.
