Disabled and neurodivergent science communications specialist and community builder
I am a disabled and neurodivergent science communications specialist with a drive to advance equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. I combine my passions for STEM education and community building, my expertise in science communication and program development, and my lived experience with disability and neurodivergence to advance equity in postsecondary and STEM environments. I want to learn new things, geek out, and share my passions.
