Research Goals
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. I seek to enact changes that promote autonomy, sense of self, well-being, and informed and intentional self-advocacy for autistic youth and adults who identify as LGBTQ+.
