I am a community organizer, researcher, writer, and disability justice movement worker based in Connecticut. My work sits at the intersections of disability justice, queer and trans liberation, community care, and participatory research. Drawing from backgrounds in social work, special education, advocacy, and grassroots organizing, I work to build accessible, community-rooted spaces for collective learning, connection, and systems change.

I draw from my experience as a Disabled, genderqueer, queer powerchair user; the stories of people I am in community with; my own experiences of care and relationality; and the art and work of QTBIPOC sick and disabled writers, organizers, artists, and movement workers. 

My work spans community-based research, disability justice organizing, legislative advocacy, grant writing, and public education. I conduct qualitative, arts-based, and participatory research projects focused on disability, care, housing, healthcare access, and queer and trans communities. I also develop accessible educational materials, facilitate workshops and community conversations, and contribute to policy and advocacy initiatives related to equity and systems change.

I am especially interested in translating research, policy, and lived experience into accessible and actionable forms, including workshops, educational materials, public scholarship, and community-based resources. Across my work, I aim to support collective learning, strengthen community relationships, and contribute to systems change grounded in the knowledge and leadership of marginalized communities. 

I am driven by a belief that knowledge, care, and access should be collective rather than exclusive. Much of my work is motivated by the question of how we create communities, systems, and relationships where people can participate fully and be understood in the complexity of their experiences. I am especially interested in the ways disabled, queer, trans, and otherwise marginalized communities build connection, interdependence, and new possibilities for collective survival and flourishing.

I believe research, advocacy, and organizing are most meaningful when they remain accountable to the communities they engage. Whether through research, public education, policy work, or grassroots organizing, I am motivated by opportunities to support accessibility, deepen collective understanding, and contribute to more just and sustainable futures.
