Passionate about community and interpersonal relationships, I strive to foster healthier, safer environments and bring that same dedication to BU. I hold degrees in Psychology and Theatre from UML. Throughout my career, I\u2019ve been fortunate to combine my education with my passions\u2014whether as an Actor\/Educator touring with Catharsis Productions\u2019 \u201cSex Signals\u201d program, or as an EMAB Advocate and Community Educator at a rape crisis center. At SARP, I oversee training initiatives, student ambassadors\/intern programs, and lead prevention, awareness, and outreach efforts. As a cis, mixed-race man in this work, I am mindful of the responsibility my role carries. I hope to lead with kindness, accountability, and a commitment to growth. Knowing the fantastic individuals on my team, I can confidently say SARP will always do everything in our power to provide students with the support, comfort, and care they deserve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Personal Hobbies<\/strong><br \/>\n<span>Rock Climbing, Jewelry Making, Biking, Ultimate Frisbee, Cooking, Magic The Gathering, Horror Movies, Theatre, Cats, Banjo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Education &amp; Training<\/strong><br \/>\nBA, University of Massachusetts Lowell<\/p>\n<p><strong>Special Interests<\/strong><br \/>\n<span>Violence Prevention, Human Gender and Sexuality, Trauma-Informed Community Engagement and Education, Healthy Masculinity, Consent, Cognitive Psychology, Story-Telling as a Prevention Method.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>SHS Committees<\/strong><br \/>\n<span>SHS Prevention Committee Massachusetts Coalition of Anti-Violence Professionals<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16413,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/771"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16413"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":773,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/771\/revisions\/773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/shs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
