** Available to be booked for talks on Asexual, Aromantic and Agender identities and interactive Queer community building workshops **
Find me speaking at Queer in STEM Conference, Cambridge, September 2026
LGBTQIA+ advocacy and activism is at the heart of a lot of work I do, where I focus on Asexual (someone who experiences little to no sexual attraction or desire), Aromantic (someone who experiences little to no romantic attraction or desire) and Agender (someone (partially) without a gender) identities. Raising awareness and creating inclusive community spaces and policies are vital inside and outside of LGBTQIA+ space to support people with underrepresented and “invisible” identities.
