Consultation & Services
I work with nonprofits, educational institutions, creative teams, legal professionals, and media producers who want to engage with culture, representation, and storytelling in thoughtful and impactful ways. Drawing on over a decade of experience in teaching, research, public engagement, and LGBTQ2+ media history—as well as experience serving as an expert witness in legal cases involving queer community groups. I help organizations turn complex ideas into clear, effective, and inclusive strategies. I’ve also worked with journalists from the CBC News, USA Today, and Harper’s Bazaar and given invited talks at Pride societies, film festivals, and Yale University on topics related to media, LGBTQ2+ representation, education, and, of course, drag.
My goal is to offer insight, guidance, and practical tools that support better communication, stronger narratives, and more meaningful engagement with diverse communities.
