Consulting
For more than a decade, I have used my research, writing, and communications skills to help advance LGBTQ+ rights and other social justice issues. On this site, you can find some recent examples of this work. If you'd like to get in touch about my consulting services, please reach out to me through social media or the contact form on this website.
GLAAD Social Media Safety Index
In my former role as a research analyst with the communications firm Goodwin Simon Strategic Research (GSSR), I led methodology development and research for GSSR's partnership with GLAAD on the organization's Social Media Safety Index. For this work, I collaborated closely with GLAAD's Social Media Safety Team on developing the Platform Scorecard. Drawing on best practices developed by Ranking Digital Rights (RDR), the Platform Scorecard holds leading social media platforms accountable regarding their respect for LGBTQ+ users' online expression and safety. I continue to work closely with GLAAD on this important effort to help make social media safer for the LGBTQ+ community.
If you'd like to find out more about this work, you can listen to my interview on the podcast Tech Policy Press or read this blog post that I wrote for the RDR project.
DEI Consulting:
Life Designer Coach Academy
More recently, I started advising programs training future life and career coaches on how to make the coaching space more inclusive for LGBTQ+ people. As part of this work, I previously provided consulting services for the Life Designer Coach Academy, a training certification program for spiritual coaches.
