Years of lived experience navigating social services as a transgender person laid the groundwork, my MSW program and array of internships instilled awareness and clinical acumen, and I am honored to spend my life serving those who risked everything to jiggle the handles of the doors I stride through today. From leading development of San Francisco's first LGBTQ-focused adult day health program to providing clinical care management to older adults living with SMI to supporting transgender care navigation at the world's first Center of Excellence in Gender Confirmation Surgery, I am blessed to be of service and eager to connect with others - such work before us!
