 ”We deserve better. We deserve editors and journalists who have some vague understanding of sex and sexual health, and can report it in a grown-up way.” — The Guardian UK, May 15, 2012

 You can pay me to:

• Speak to any audience about sexuality & gender issues; I am especially excited to speak to LGBTQ families.
• Manage your social media presence and community outreach to specific alternative sexuality communities
• Lead a sexuality, gender or sex-positive parenting workshop
• Facilitate group discussions and panels on sexuality issues
• Train service providers, other educators and parents to effectively communicate sexuality issues
• Write a sexuality curriculum, article, column or blog post
• Be interviewed as an expert about sexuality or gender; especially the intersection of sexuality and marginalized identities, family structure and non-monogamy.
• Provide support for community initiatives; including anti-racism efforts within alternative sexual identity groups.

As of May 2012, I will have completed my Master’s Degree in Human Sexuality Studies at San Francisco State University. Prior to attending graduate school, I graduated from UC Berkeley in 2007 with a double major BA in English Literature and Anthropology while raising two young sons as a single parent. At Cal, I was President of the Student Parent Association.

I am  a regular contributor to the Sex Positive Photo Project of the SF Bay Area and Shades Magazine. I have also written for Oakland Local and as a Sexy Mama Blogger for Good Vibrations Magazine. I have presented my original research at multiple academic conferences and symposiums. I will be presenting my Master’s Thesis Study at the OpenSF Conference this June. I have trained with Community at Work to be a group facilitator and am fully committed to the participatory process of decision making.
