I love to learn and teach about the relationship between gender and health, often with a focus on violence prevention and healthy relationships. I also educate about gender and sexuality more broadly. I hold degrees in Global Health and Gender, Sexuality & Women’s Studies. I’m a trained Sexual Assault Counselor, with additional training in Mental Health First Aid and a DONA-trained full-spectrum doula course under my belt. I prioritize trauma-sensitive and gender-affirming care and education.

I’ve undertaken a range of projects analyzing support and response systems for people who have experienced gendered/sexual violence. Notable projects include a capstone on community-based priorities and developments in medication abortion access in the U.S.; a senior thesis examining formal and informal support available to college students who have experienced sexual violence, using Penn as a case study; and a Community Needs Assessment for a Kolkata grassroots LGBTQKH* organization. Refer to my portfolio for work samples.

I believe that education is a vital avenue for enacting the social change we want to see in the world. In short, I have led over 10 bystander intervention training sessions to fraternities and other university student groups, have experience facilitating conversations using the One Love Foundation educational materials on healthy relationships., and have delivered sold-out Building Healthy Queer Relationships workshops in London. I helped develop and deliver climate storytelling workshops for all ages, piloted over 20 times for audiences ranging from 8th-grade students to attendees of the STREAMS International Environmental Humanities Conference.
