Bio
I have a degree in Women's Studies from Arizona State University. I am a long time community activist who has worked for the rights of immigrant and homeless communities. I'm an anarchist, a peace activist, and a big fan of the WNBA (Go Mercury!). After graduating from ASU, I landed myself in Long Beach, California and for two years, I had the privilege of running an after school program for LGBTQ teens. If there is a heaven, I think it's filled with queer kids with bedazzlers who go on sailing trips and produce their own musicals. I'm currently working at ASU and will start Le Cordon Bleu's Culinary Management Program at Scottsdale Culinary Institute in January.
