As a camp counsellor and later camp director, I developed high-level emotional intelligence, leadership, community-building, staff management, and creative collaboration skills.

When I worked in higher education student advising, I worked hard to create a more inclusive campus. I developed DEI curriculum, facilitated safe-space workshops, delivered many DEI presentations, and created diversity and inclusion policy before this work was cool.

I have taught courses and seminars in a wide range of subjects including history, sailing, yearbook publishing, student success strategies, technology, diversity and inclusion, and design.

Design is the process of taking the convoluted and making it consumable. As a neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ identified designer, my passion for accessibility and inclusive design comes from both personal and professional lived experience.
