As part of a community advisory board, I am part of a selected small group of genderqueer and trans youth responsible for guiding a National Health Institute-funded program dedicated to developing trans-affirming sex education resources for trans youth. This is the first NIH-funded sex ed program with trans folk both leading the research and guiding it through a community advisory board. Members meet monthly or bi-monthly to discuss goals and processes to create a finished product that can be scaled to help trans youth across the nation. This project is in partnership with the University of Washington, the University of Seattle, and Seattle Children's Hospital.

Serving as a national committee dedicated to furthering trans-femmes across the country. We focus on decentering whiteness and looking at how the most vulnerable populations can be helped while advocating. Through storytelling advocacy work, I have discussed social liberation and how various backgrounds affect our transgender identities with National leaders in transgender organizing including members of the Transgender Law Center, TransLash media, and the Trans Justice Funding Project. In addition, I have been interviewed for many case studies regarding trans youth of color and featured in the Huff Post.

Greeley, Colorado, United States

As part of the Frontiers Of Science Institute at the University Of Northern Colorado. There, I presented my research project entitled, Examining Job Engagement in the Collegiate Sports Management Industry Through Gender Theory. In this project, I was the principal investigator working with Logan Schuetz, Ph. D. who was my research mentor. My poster examined people in the collegiate sports management industry and if their self-reported person-organization fit and leader political skill predicted higher job engagement, differentiating between males and non-males. Our study is one of the few in the industry, and the only at the subsequent research symposium, inclusive of genderqueer people. Our study found that high leader political skill predicted a positive significant increase in job engagement across the gender spectrum. There were no found published studies that reported this data across the workplace, meaning if published we would make significant advancements to published literature. In person-organization fit, we found a positive significant increase in job engagement for males but not for non-males, a phenomenon we found specific to the collegiate sports management industry.
