I grew up not having many examples of gender diversity as a child or in college. Through graduate school and in my experiences interning and working in college counseling centers, I was able to affirm my own mix of femininity masculinity and in-between-ness. I now find purpose and meaning in working on an individual level with my clients to help them affirm their own experience of gender, and on a systemic level to help other professionals understand gender more deeply, in order to serve their clients better.
