He currently serves as the inaugural Assistant Vice President for Diversity, Belonging, and Well-Being at Princeton University and is a Co-Core Member for Transgender Inclusion at the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA).
Previously, Andy directed the UCLA LGBTQ Campus Resource Center and held roles at the Princeton University LGBT Center, NYU LGBTQ+ Center, and on the Executive Board of the National Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals.

Andy is by far the best facilitator I have ever worked with. His trainings are full of useful, current, vital information and he always helps us with real scenarios that we face in the classroom and how to navigate them.
