My Background

As a therapist, care worker, and community facilitator, I bring over ten years of professional experience combined with a lifetime of lived experience. My passions for liberatory care work, collective care, and universal access have helped me carve a unique path that is in line with my values of anti-racism and anti-capitalism.
