press + publicity

Since founding, my work with Clean Air Club has been featured in outlets including Teen Vogue, NPR, WBEZ Chicago, The Sick Times, The Chicago Reader, Them Magazine, and Yes! Magazine. A full list of press coverage can be seen here.


I have delivered a keynote lecture on Covid and disability access to the United States Access Board, and partnered with the ACLU, the United Nations, and the Illinois Department of Public Health to advocate for robust public health measures.
