About Me

I am an above-knee amputee, cancer-surviving, sexually progressive, disability rights advocate, researcher and multi-medium artist with experience in integrated dance, music, film and theatre. I've done a dance residency with Candoco Dance in north London as well as served as a visiting scholar at the School for Oriental and African Studies in London where I presented research on disabled women in Vietnam.

I am single with no children. I have spent half of my adult life in Vietnam working on various overseas aid projects and I am proud to say I read, write and speak Vietnamese as well.

I believe passionately in the sexual liberation of people with disabilities. That's why I'm here.

I seek opportunities to serve with a disability rights-based organization in the U.K. I would also like to connect with disabled women from around the world. Please feel free to contact me.
