PERSONAL

My professional and personal interests coalesce around fighting for justice and equity for oppressed and marginalized identities. I also like reading fantasy and equity-centered nonfiction, cooking, traveling, learning about new cultures and languages, falling down research rabbit-holes, and helping others achieve their personal and professional goals. I love data and research, but also feelings and humanity. I'm from Oregon, USA and am now living in the Washington, DC area. I am white, introverted, AuDHD, queer, and trans/nonbinary (I use they/them pronouns).​
