About Me:
I have been out as transgender for about 10 years. I have worked with transgender people in various professional settings and have ran several transgender groups, including one for specifically transmasculine folks. I am proud to represent transgender people as an adult, and hope to provide a glimmer of possibility to any transgender person trying to imagine a future for themselves. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or just to say hi. Being trans is truly the best thing in the world and I’m always so happy to connect with other trans (and queer!) people.
