Hey, I’m Joli.

I provide education in the areas of general professional development, trauma-informed & healing centered approaches, gender and sexuality equity, normalization of neurodivergence, & a lot about loving relationships of all kinds.

The best I can say about any human being is that they listen, hear, clarify, understand & respond with compassion. Joli has always done that for me when I dared ask questions about worlds I simply did not & sometimes still do not understand. Joli has given me the safety when I need to ask the questions by never belittling my ignorance. Likewise, Joli has patiently educated me about things I was unaware existed, challenges faced by others. Often, I have commented that Joli was born for such a time as this. I don't know many people who have been able to speak to issues of sexuality, identity, & struggle with the data/facts as well as the deep understanding that they do.

  • Some of the activities were surprisingly harder than I thought they would be (but not in a bad way). It was nice to have a space to reflect on things I usually don’t ‘have time’ to think about.

  • Joli provides an authentic learning & growth experience where information is shared, given space to be processed & experienced & through all this more easily integrated in an experiential & humanistic manner. I felt supported where I was in my own learning process & understanding in an engaging and interactive space. Joli is a very effective presenter & facilitator. I would highly recommend their programming & workshops to others!

  • Joli was my Program Coordinator at Nontraditional Employment for Women (NEW). Their presence was positive and powerful. They gave hope to a room full of women who were unsure of their future careers, and maybe even themselves. My experience with Joli as an educator has taught me to push pass my mental and physical boundaries & fears. Joli was that one person who everyone looked forward to seeing in the morning, a true motivator. Joli made students comfortable enough to try new things & to believe in themselves!

Joli is uniquely able to address both the prevention of sexual violence & appropriately respond to sexual violence after it has occurred. They are expertly able to walk the line between micro-level work, collaborating with survivors directly, & meso/macro-level work by writing innovative curricula & presenting at the local & national levels. Joli is simultaneously an excellent leader, an organized planner, a thoughtful work partner, an accomplished curriculum-writer, & a great presenter. Joli works incredibly hard & with a deep passion for survivors of all gender-based violence. Their love of education makes them a force to be reckoned with.
