I am a national Safe Space Trainer with GLSEN and over the past decade have trained students and adults in diversity leadership, being culturally responsive, empathy, cultural understanding, and self-reflection.

In Northeast Ohio I am Co-Chair of GLSEN Northeast Ohio, and we work to make sure that schools are safe for ALL students regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity and/or gender expression. GLSEN Northeast Ohio offers professional development for schools in our 23 counties: Ashland, Ashtabula, Carroll, Columbiana, Coshocton, Cuyahoga, Erie, Geagua, Harrison, Holmes, Huron, Jefferson, Lake, Lorain, Mahoning, Medina, Portage, Richland, Stark, Summit, Trumbell, Tuscarawas, and Wayne.
