She is an expert in LGBTQ-related issues, including transgender identities and sexual orientation, and works with many Trans*, non-binary, and gender non-conforming adults. She is currently Director for LGBT Programs and Policies in the Office for Diversity and Inclusion at Mount Sinai Health System, where she is spearheading the institution’s implementation of LGBT affirmative and culturally competent health care.
