Welcome to The Puberty Project! I've spent my career creating and implementing health and sexuality education programs for kids, teens, and college students. Over the past two decades, I've been continually inspired by this work, the students I work with, and how society's understanding of sexuality, gender, diversity, and equity continues to evolve.

​

EDUCATION + BACKGROUND

Before starting The Puberty Project I was Director of Health Education + Promotion at Lehman College. Prior to that I held health and sexuality educator roles at Columbia University and the Teen Choice Program at Inwood House. I have a bachelor's degree in Education from Indiana University and a master's degree in Health Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. I'm a Certified Health Education Specialist (CHES) by the National Commission for Health Education Credentialing, and a trained Domestic Violence Counselor through Laura's House Domestic Violence Advocacy Center.
