Biography

My research focuses on stigma management and identity with respect to sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations, particularly within the BDSM community. I also study stigma and discrimination among gender and racial/ethnic minorities and the LGBTQIA+ community. Overall, my goal is to work closely with marginalized SGM populations and conduct research that eliminates stigma and promotes inclusivity and acceptance.
