Professional history

I am the current co-chair of the La Crosse County Sexual Assault Response Team (SART), as well as a member of the WI Attorney General's SART, the UWL Bias Support and Education Team, and the Academic Staff Council. In my career as an advocate, I have worked with sexual abuse survivors across the lifespan, as well as with incarcerated survivors of sexual assault. I've been involved as a board member of the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault and The Center: 7 Rivers LGBTQ Connection. Before coming to UWL, I was the advocate in the Center for Awareness of Sexual Assault at UW Eau Claire.

presented

Willem Vanroosenbeek, Pride Center; Andrew Ericson, Sustainability; and Blythe McConaughey, Violence Prevention; presented on how we came to work in sustainability, violence prevention, and LGBTQ+ advocacy at the International Youth Media Summit July 27 in La Crosse. They shared with student leaders from over 20 countries participating in a media summit. Ericson was the mentor for the group focused on sustainability, Blythe was the mentor for the group focused on violence, and Will was the mentor for the group focused on discrimination. Each group will be creating a three-minute PSA about their topic area.
