As the founder and creator of Project Contrast my roles consist of growing my organization through delegation of my team, board members and continuing my vision and direction within the Non-Profit. Other roles include traveling and documenting LGBTQ+ youth around the country. I am currently writing our first book. Project Contrast has a simple job of educating others on what it is like for modern day queer youth to grow up in their small, conservative, rural and/or religious communities. In hopes to connect youth with one another and help prevent the amount of LGBTQ+ suicides in our country. Spreading our everyday message that "You Are Loved."
