Workplace Sexual Harassment

I have served as an expert witness resulting in successful outcomes for plaintiffs, offered testimony on legislation, and recommendations to a variety of organizations and state agencies on how to reduce and prevent workplace harassment. This work has also been cited by the U.S. Senate in its own proceedings concerning best practices around tracking sexual harassment and its impact. Consultation and trial fee schedule here.

Non-Parents & the Childfree Choice

My book CHILDFREE BY CHOICE (Penguin Random House) is a “definitive investigation into the history and growing movement of adults choosing to forgo parenthood.” I have consulted with organizations regarding building inclusive family-friendly policies for all and shifting language to include all people, regardless of family circumstance.
