About Angélique
I'm a community engagement professional with experience in community outreach and coalition-building, sexuality education and health promotion, customer service, and organizational change. I have an M.Ed. in Community Engagement with a concentration in Community Organizations (Merrimack College), a B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Psychology (Framingham State University), and I am also a Certified Holistic Sexuality Educator (Institute for Sexuality Education & Enlightenment).
Particular skills include:
● Building and maintaining organizational relationships
● Queer-inclusive and sex-positive approaches to sexuality education
● Creating internal infrastructure to support employee and participant experience
● Utilizing core values to cultivate accountability for diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice objectives
I'm an energetic and smiley person who also loves time alone to recharge. A hike with friends or a long walk around town are some of my favorite ways to unwind. I love books, podcasts, and videos focused on social justice, comedy, makeup, and sex and relationships. I grew up in Massachusetts and now live in Vermont.

Note: This list was started in 2021, meaning that there have inevitably been some prior workshops that remain impactful, but names and dates were lost in time. I attend many workshops, webinars, or trainings each year, and some have been summarized or condensed under conferences, intensives, certificates, etc.
