I'm an advocate, university educator and journalist living with AIDS working in the fields of social justice and sexual health. My decade-long tenure as Senior Editor with A&U: America’s AIDS Magazine afforded tremendous opportunities; working with numerous luminaries in the fight against AIDS including Sheryl Lee Ralph, Alicia Keys, Melissa Rivers, Gilles Marini, Greg Louganis and many more; thus growing the publication’s mission of collecting, archiving, publishing and distributing the art, activism, and current events emanating from the AIDS pandemic. My work has been published in LA Times, Stern Magazine, USA Today, Ebony, People.com, Huffington Post, Springer Medizin and more. I am currently a full-time lecturer at the University of Miami where I received my MFA in 2013. I also hold an MA in Photography from California State University San Bernardino (2009) and a BS degree in Information Technology from Barry University (2004).
