Chicago, IL I am a gay Chicago-based marketing executive who has spent much of my career working in the healthcare space for clients including Bayer, GSK and Walgreens. I faced my own personal struggles growing up gay in a very white, conservative anti-gay suburb and have since dedicated much of my life trying to advance diversity, LGBT equality and helping those at risk or in need. I have experience mentoring LGBTQ youth and high school students – in particular those of color from underprivileged communities. I can help with anything from feeling down to finding resources to helping with college admissions essays and career planning. Or I can just be there to listen and provide some positive affirmation and encouragement.
