Hi, I’m Audrina!

Like many young people, I turned to the internet when I first got my period. While there was plenty of information available, much of it felt overwhelming, confusing, or difficult for a 12 year old girl to understand. 

Now that I’m older, I discovered how much misinformation and stigma still surrounds menstruation. The more I learned about the science behind the menstrual cycle, the more I realized how transformative that knowledge could be. That was when I decided to create The Big Sister Guide - the resource I wish I had when I was younger.

Since then, I've spent countless hours reading research papers, speaking with healthcare professionals, and learning from students' experiences.

What started as a search for answers has grown into a science-based period guide that I'm proud to share with young people. My hope is that it helps readers understand their bodies with more confidence and a little less confusion, while having fun along the way!

This book is just the beginning. My goal is to partner with schools, charities, healthcare professionals, and community organizations to expand access to menstrual health education and reach more young people around the world!
