My professional career has focused on promoting healing for those whose marginalization is compounded in higher education; I strive to transform higher education practice to better support marginalized students by working directly with other practitioners and educators.
I lead trainings and workshops on engaging in anti-oppressive practice and research for teams at institutions across the country.
Below is a sample of trainings and workshops I have offered in the past
