I am drawn to this work by the dream of a world where all beings everywhere experience safety, dignity, and belonging.

I was born and raised in NYC, and received my graduate training in Counseling Psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley.

I also hold a masters degree in Anthropology and Social Change from the California Institute of Integral Studies.

I love meditation retreats, Queer media, time in nature, the inspiring work of artists and social change makers, and snuggling dogs.
