In the past several years I have been doing a lot of diversity and inclusion work with a focus on neurodivergent academics/students and caregivers (mostly early career mothers). 

I have been invited to give talks about support for neurodivergent academics both locally and online. I'm very passionate about this and always happy to do more!
