Sexologist, Educator, Storyteller
I'm a Jersey girl who spent my formative years in non-secular school with no sex education. While in college, it began to resonate with with me how important it is we learn about our sexuality in a healthy way - without harmful norms, shame, or coercion.
And I did. I learned how transformative it is when we are allowed to understand and own our sexuality. Helping people build their power and agency over their own sexuality through comprehensive, consent-focused, sex positive education became my purpose. I want to help people express and respect consent, so all of the gray areas fall away and we can end sexual violence. I wanted to do it in a way where we could laugh and learn together.
SO.
Are you looking for a dynamic presenter or tools to create your own social change or curriculum around sexual violence prevention? You've landed in the right spot. Whether you're in higher education, corporate, or non-profit work looking to get your students & employees engaged and excited about doing their part to end sexual violence, I've got a barrel of resources for you (I am the barrel, the resources stay on the internet).
I'm skilled at breaking down difficult concepts into digestible pieces, especially around sexuality and power-based personal violence. Why? I'm highly trained, love to talk and laugh, and want to change the world. I wanted to create something better when it came to Title IX programs, so I did.
I wrote an adult children's books about consent, coercion, & sexual harassment. It rhymes & we have a good time. You can find it here. It is a fan favorite during my presentations.
I'm passionate about educating others on consent, sex discrimination, Title IX, sexual violence, healthy sexuality, trauma, pleasure, relationships, bystander intervention, empathy, & sexual harassment.
I help people feel agency over their sexuality. It's a concept that is often denied & healing from that societal trauma takes work.
I can effortlessly add a cat into any presentation.
