I'm an abolitionist and recovering former prosecutor. I work with the Reshaping Prosecution project at the Vera Institute of Justice where I provide technical assistance to District Attorneys on how to shrink their power, invest in communities, and reckon with their office's connection to white supremacy and state-inflicted violence. Also, as a survivor of sexual violence and a Queer NB person - I work to dismantle the false-binary between those accused of harm and those who cause harm to help build a safer society for everyone.
