With over nine years of experience, my role as a Research Manager at the University of South Florida has allowed me to lead a team of research assistants, fostering an environment of academic rigor and innovation. Simultaneously, as a Pride 365 Champion, I've been at the forefront of ending pinkwashing and promoting year-round support for the LGBT+ community. My expertise in developmental psychology, coupled with technical prowess in C++ and a passion for end-user training, underscores my commitment to inclusive research and advocacy. At the heart of my mission is the integration of comprehensive public health strategies with a steadfast dedication to social justice, ensuring that my work at both organizations reflects a deep-seated value for diversity and community empowerment.
