As a social data scientist and LGBTQ+ educator, I am deeply committed to leveraging data-driven insights to advance social justice and foster inclusive environments. My approach combines rigorous academic research with practical advocacy, utilizing both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to understand and address systemic inequalities.My philosophy is centered on the belief that education and data transparency are powerful tools for driving social change. Through my work with To Better Understand, Inc. and the "Trans* Lesson Plan" podcast, I strive to make complex social issues accessible and actionable. I believe in the power of storytelling combined with data analysis to create compelling narratives that drive institutional change.My background in IT and data science informs my unique approach to social justice work. I specialize in developing innovative methodologies that bridge the gap between traditional historical research and modern data analysis techniques. This interdisciplinary approach allows me to uncover and communicate patterns of inequality while highlighting opportunities for positive change.In both my professional and personal endeavors, I am guided by the principle that meaningful change requires both individual education and systemic transformation. I am dedicated to creating spaces where diverse voices are heard and respected, and where data-driven insights can lead to more equitable outcomes for all communities.
