I am dedicated to reforming educational policy, practices, and programs to help meet the needs of the autistic and LGBTQ+ communities. I am investigating the intersectionalities and corborbidities within these groups and wish to create an autism-centric sex ed/relationship curriculum and reform ableist educational models.
