Meet Dr. Connie Lee.


Connie Lee, Psy.D., is the founding President and CEO of Angioma Alliance. Connie is a licensed clinical psychologist and the mother of a daughter with multiple cavernous angiomas. Connie’s personal story with cavernous angioma began in January 2000. At that time, Connie’s 4-month-old daughter Julia received brain surgery for a major hemorrhage and hydrocephalus caused by a cavernous angioma. Dr. Lee founded Angioma Alliance in 2002. She has guided the organization from its beginnings as a support group to its current role as the driving force for research, legislation, and patient care.
