I am a fervent creative collaborator and strive to deliver exceptional work while fostering meaningful relationships. I possess strong interpersonal skills, empathy, and sensitivity to nuanced forms of communication, necessary in identifying issues and forming solutions that are just and rooted in an intersectional framework. I am a Worcester, MA native and recent Los Angeles transplant who has been immersed in the world of gender, sexuality and critical theory since 2009. With an undergraduate degree in Gender Studies from Indiana University and a masters in Gender and Cultural Studies from Simmons University, I feel extremely comfortable with the real world applications that come with that specific knowledge set. I'm driven by knowing the work I do might allow someone to thrive in a welcoming and safe environment, regardless of sex, gender, race, or physical ability. When I'm not working, you can find me trying new restaurants, catching live music and/or making my own, and exploring LA.
