Professional Summary
The recent focus from the White House Task Force on sexual violence on college campuses has brought into the spotlight what higher education student affairs professionals, advocates and survivors have known for years: we have to change rape culture, stop victim blaming and hold perpetrators accountable. This was why I was so excited when this job posting came across a list serve of which I am a member. The University of California Berkeley is an elite and cutting edge university whose mission and vision appear to be in line with my own.

My skills in advocacy, outreach, collaboration and creativity as well as my ambition, humor and willingness to speak up makes me an asset to your university.
