AuDHD Scholar • Social Entrepreneur • Disability Justice Advocate
I hold a PhD in Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies with a certificate in Film and Media Studies from Emory University. My academic research explores gender, sexuality, myth, and neurodivergence through cultural narratives.
In 2022, I was diagnosed autistic and ADHD as an adult—a discovery that transformed my personal experience into disability justice work. Since then, I’ve been leading community-centered research on autistic wellbeing, suicide prevention, and evidence-based supports that enable neurodivergent adults to thrive. I’m building assistive technology and research infrastructure specifically designed for autistic and ADHD adults.
With Wanda Swan, I’m also the co-creator of “Once Upon a Patriarchy,” a two-season podcast that examined fairy tales through feminist and social justice lenses. My household encompasses 10 beings, including 4 cats, 2 dogs, 1 uromastyx, and 2 human children, in addition to myself. We do not currently include insects and micro-organisms in the household census, despite heated internal debate.
