Equality Michigan Board Secretary
Equality Michigan Board Secretary
I served on the Board of Directors of EQMI from 2021-2025. As Board Secretary I wrote the meeting minutes for board meetings, monitored the financial health of the organization, supervised the Executive Director Erin Knot, wrote new mission and values, and contributed my voice to the operations of the organization.
EQMI engages, educates, and moves political leaders and voters to take action on the issues that matter most to LGBTQ+ Michiganders. Every year, EQMI monitors LGBTQ+ related legislation introduced in the Michigan Legislature and advocates on behalf of Michigan’s LGBTQ+ community.

Student Advocacy (2019-2023)
Davenport University helped me hone my advocacy and community-building skills. I learned to leverage the community voice, create digital communications to strengthen arguments, write compellingly, and refine my tone to invite collaboration. By the end of my business degree, I discovered my passion for a career in Higher Education.
I created and shared this video with Davenport University administrators during discussions on improving laundry services.
Early Community Work (2015-2019)
Early Community Work (2015-2019)
High School is when I found my passion for advocacy for national, state, local, and community issues. As an open and proud transwoman during this time, I faced adversity from my family, church, school, and community. I found that when I spoke, people listened. Leveraging this meant changing the hearts and minds of those most capable of solving the problems I and the communities I advocated for faced. It also meant building communities.
