Outside of work, I’m a dog parent with my partner to an adorable Australian Shepherd named Jaxi, play drums in a band, and enjoy listening to podcasts that challenge my assumptions. My most salient identities are queer, trans, non-binary, white, able-bodied, and neurodiverse (woot woot autism and adhd). I’m a facilitator and community builder and center my practice around anti-oppression and collective liberation. I’ve worked in a worked in a variety of fields, including international exchange programs, arts education, graphic design, and institutional research. I love meeting new folks so feel free to get in touch if you want to chat about social justice, talk about how cool it is to be neurodiverse and queer, career stuff, or anything else!
