I am a Sexual Health Educator

Classes On OutSchool
I am bringing my experience as a classroom teacher to the virtual space. Individuals choose to home-school, send their children to a charter school, or a public school for various reasons. No matter where one is being educated, they should have access to comprehensive sexual health information. Let’s get started!
Sexual health education can be helpful, interactive, and empowering!

Sexual Health Socio-Ecological Model
An individual’s access to comprehensive sexual health information may be targeted, supported, or protected. Socio-ecological models outline the interrelated factors that influence negative or positive outcomes. This model highlights distinct influences on risk-taking behavior across different contexts, including personal characteristics, compound factors, health views, and specific skills, ultimately supporting individuals in applying their knowledge to achieve healthy sexual development outcomes.
Utilizing a prevention mindset, I designed this socio-ecological model focused on sexual health, informed by my professional experience and integrating aspects of four other established models. The model is featured in my chapter, Maximizing Sexual Health Education for Youth. This is in Part Four of the book Fundamental Concepts and Critical Developments in Sex Education: Intersectional and Trauma-Informed Approaches.
