I am a queer and genderfluid primary care physician assistant (she/they) who has dedicated my practice to care of the LGBTQIA2S* communities throughout my career. Seeing the poor and sometimes abusive treatment of our communities at the hands of the medical community, I wanted to provide a better option. So I left my career in IT and went to physician assistant school to learn the practice of medicine and how best to contribute. I developed my passion for gender-affirming care after discovering a clinical rotation in transgender health care with Project HEALTH at Lyon Martin Health Services in San Francisco under the guidance of Nick Gorton, MD. Starting in 2016, I developed a program from the ground up to provide gender-affirming care at my practice at Ingham Community Health Centers in Lansing, Michigan, where I had the great honor of managing over 250 patients of all ages who came from all over the state to see me as I was the only provider offering hormone therapy by informed consent at the time. I also discovered a passion for providing sexual and reproductive health care for all folks in the LGBTQIA2S* communities using a trauma-sensitive, gender-affirming, and sex-positive framework. I became adept at providing reproductive health including contraceptive care, pregnancy care, HIV prevention with PrEP as well as offering post exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) and doxyPEP. I love caring for all sexual and gender minorities, including those in the leather/kink/BDSM community, SWers, and those practicing consensual non-monogamy & polyamory. I am a proud member of GLMA, Health Professionals Advancing LGBT* Equality, the LBGT PA caucus, TPATH, PACT Coalition, and WPATH. I have received specialized training at the Philly Trans Health Conference, WPATH, USPATH, and many GLMA conferences. I see my mission as more and more driven by social justice every day, particularly with the increasing daily attacks on our trans and gender diverse communities, and am fighting for our rights every day.
