I relish the opportunity to immerse myself in a subject, create engaging and innovative ways of teaching on that subject, and then receive the immediate feedback as I present a class or workshop. I don’t want to be a “sage on the stage,” but instead I aim to be a “guide on the side.” Every time I teach or present, I see it as an opportunity to learn from others and to collaborate toward common goals.

I have spoken on a variety of sexual health topics, and will gladly create a presentation tailored to your specific needs. Visit my LinkedIn Profile to read what others have said about my presentations.

I am an AASECT Certified Sexuality Educator. The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) credentials sexual health professionals on the basis of rigorous standards for academic preparation, supervised training and consultation, field-related experience, and applied skills.
