educational presentations

I have had the privilege of providing sexual health presentations and programs since being a wellness peer educator at Virginia Tech in 2002. I am also certified in teaching the Our Whole Lives comprehensive sexual education curriculum through the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship to middle school and high school students. Over the years at UGA I regularly led professional presentations to young adults and healthcare providers, along with conference presentations at the regional and national level. Fun Fact: I currently hold the record for facilitating the most Safe Space (4-hour LGBTQ+ ally trainings) at UGA. Honestly, my favorite part of my job at UGA was public speaking, but doing condom demonstrations at frat houses wasn't necessarily a long-term career path. :) Facilitating group workshops, professional in-service trainings, and sexual health competency refreshers is a service I have over 20 years of experience providing. I am also happy to include pre-test needs assessments and consultations prior to program implementation, in addition to post-test surveys to measure program impact.
