About

I was raised in Southeastern Tennessee and attended New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where I studied gender, sexuality, politics, race, and revolution.

I’ve worked primarily as a research data manager and database developer, in the areas of medical and behavioral research into the sex industry, sexually transmitted infections, orthopedic trauma, and cancer care.

A proud activist nearly half of my life, my areas of action relate to issues of sexuality and health care, including HIV/AIDS, mental health, substance use and abuse, and multiple sclerosis.
