About
The general purpose of my work is to promote healthy sexual development across the lifespan. Currently, my focus is primarily on offering training and TA for sexuality educators in the 6-12 space and teaching at the college level.
Purpose
I've been in the field of reproductive health/sexual health for 25+ years and have experience in the clinical (healthcare) setting as well as in research.
Expertise
I really enjoy reading and discussing research on sexuality and facilitating conversations on difficult topics, like exploitation, chronophilias, trauma as well as talking about pleasure. I actually think that the paucity of content on pleasure in school-based sex ed contributes to the rates of sexual violence that we see. Sexual pleasure needs to be an integral aspect of sexuality education. I also have a lot of experience in developing engaging online and in-person trainings but I'm sure others have similar skill sets. I also speak/write semi-fluently both Spanish and Portuguese and have experience with Brazilian and Mexican/Chicana culture.
