Violence Preventionist, Speaker, Trainer, Storyteller, Advocate

"I didn't really know what to expect - I thought it might focus on traffickers - and was blown away by the content. It was very thought-provoking and well-articulated."

"While many people can recognize harmful information, I have never met someone so skilled at creating and/or compiling tangible tools and resources to address time-sensitive concerns. Not only is Chris skilled in developing helpful resources, but they are passionate about making those resources accessible to individuals and organizations who need them. They are humble, approachable, and patient, and they invest in people who are committed personal and professional growth. They are committed to high quality work, and it shows in everything they do."

"Throughout my time knowing Chris they have demonstrated aptitude in public speaking, gracefully facilitating tough discussions, clear and vibrant writing, and in exuding an air of openness and acceptance that encourages people to explore ideas they might not otherwise. Chris is an outstanding educator, both in the classroom and in public."

"I often refer to Chris as 'the gift that keeps on giving.' They are incredibly gifted, competent and caring. They have the innate capability for extreme organization, endless capacity and great discernment about people and processes."

"Chris is an amazing presenter and teacher. They made heavy, deeply troubling material palatable for discussion and created an amazingly comfortable and safe atmosphere. Thank you, Chris!"

"Chris was the best supervisor I could have asked for during my first internship in college. They have perfected the balance of guiding folks in their endeavors while also allowing them to pursue their interest. At the time, I didn't realize how impactful they would be to my career as an activist and educator. Chris modeled a kind, skilled, and competent anti-violence educator, and I still use much of the advice they offered me today especially when addressing diverse audiences. Among the worrying statistics and disturbing violence that we combat, Chris provides tangible actions and compassionate guidance for those they teach."
