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, 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.
