ABOUT THE CREATOR

Margot H. Twomey, LMSW

Columbia University | The University of Texas at Austin

she/her/hers

I am a LMSW currently practicing medical social work in Austin, Texas. In school, I specialized in equity in education and spent years as an elementary school social worker in both Texas and New Jersey. I conducted a research study to figure out what most people feel like was missed in their health education curriculum for kids with female anatomy going through puberty, and put it together in a way that I hope readers are able to understand. Because over 1/3 of my participants said they'd be most comfortable receiving pubertal information on a Website, I created this resource as a way to provide information in a safe setting.

You can find my email all over this website! Please reach out to me if you want to see additional information added to the Website. Because the website is geared toward individuals between the ages of 7 and 11, I have opted out of including detailed sex education. While I believe sex education is an important component to puberty and health ed, I believe the ins and outs of sexual desire, play, and practice are better suited for a Website geared toward kids over the age of 10 (if you disagree, let's talk about it!).
