WHO AM I?

Originally from Vancouver, BC, I moved to New York to do a Master's Degree in Health & Human Sexuality Education at NYU and promptly went to work preaching SexEdvice to whomever would listen.  This included a stint at Manhattan's Museum of Sex, after which I went to India to create sex ed. programs for the children of red light area sex workers.

Once I returned, I ran sex ed. and HIV prevention programs for a South Bronx after school organization, taught human sexuality at Rutgers Newark, and answered hundreds of questions a week from teens wondering, My boyfriend says if I swallow his sperm my acne will clear up-Is that true? and Can a boy grow boobs if he takes his sister's birth control pills? for Planned Parenthood's teenwire.com website.

Currently, I am the Health Ed. coordinator at a Brooklyn-based school and teach human sexuality at Brooklyn College. I also blog about sexuality for gURL.com and run the GLBT Teens site for About.com.

I believe that we are suffering from a lack of accurate information about sexuality that affects us throughout our lives, both as a society and as individuals.  So, in an attempt to remedy  this situation, I am planning a minor SexEdvice revolution for the near future.

Because a lot of people have a lot of questions ...
