I'm a rhetorical scholar, writing educator, and qualitative researcher. I'm a co-founder of and former organizer with Queering Medicine+ , a Lansing, MI-based grassroots queer health collective. I'm also a co-producer for the Storying Sex+  podcast and oral history project, and I am part of the editorial collective for the Q+Public book series+ through Rutgers University Press.

Across my research, teaching, and service, I foreground ethical community engagement practices and sustainable change by assembling theory and practice to build livable futures for those who need it the most.
