Homeless of Ohio
This website was created in order to bring awareness to the problem of homelessness in Ohio and the world as a whole, and to call for help. Though individual people may not have the power to solve the problem of homelessness alone, when they work together they can make the lives of the struggling homeless a little brighter. My goal is that those people who visit this website will be inspired to volunteer their time to help out.

Unified for UNIFAT
I have created a website for a non-profit, student run organization that I helped start when I was in high school. This organization was prompted when I saw the powerful, compelling, and moving documentary called "Invisible Children Rough Cut". This movement inspiring documentary was put together by 3 college age students from California who went to Uganda, Africa back in 2003.

Beyond Abortion: Reproductive Rights Resources for the Feminist Activist
Last spring I became more active in advocating for reproductive rights--and as I did, I became aware of the larger world of reproductive rights issues beyond the artificial dichotomy of "choice": yes or no. I wanted to advocate from a position as a feminist psychologist, but was chagrined to find my professional organization, the Association for Women in Psychology, did not have any position statements or other resources for activists wishing to speak from a position of a feminist concerned with mental health.

The Aral Sea Crisis: White Gold and Renaissance Island
For a Capstone in International Journalism class, we were required to make a DVD presentation on an issue of international importance that was either overlooked by the mainstream media, or not given the coverage it deserved.
I chose the Aral Sea for several reasons: first, it is an issue most Americans have never even heard of; second, it is probably the single largest man-made environmental disaster ever; and third, the general attitude of most international bodies has been to let the poor former Soviet states deal with it for themselves.
