Bayleigh Ackman - Education Coordinator

 

Hello, I'm Bayleigh! I am an Education Coordinator at the UWM LGBT Resource Center.  I'm currently a Women's Studies and LGBT Studies student. I'm intrigued by and love talking about sexuality, individuality, sex and gender, along with various other social constructs. I run on sarcasm and cupcakes, and am shamelessly addicted to coffee.  I love reading, learning, and getting tattooed.  I love working at the LGBT Resource Center because of the inclusive environment it offers, and the positive mental attitude my co-workers and students who frequent the center encourage in me.  So, come talk to us! We'd love to have you! :)  

 

Emily Parker - Executive Assistant

 

Hey! My name is Emily and I am an Executive Assistant at the UWM LGBT Resource Center.  I’m a Women’s Studies major and LGBT Studies Certificate student.  I enjoy exploring how sex, gender, and sexuality are constructed and understood.  I’m always up for candidly discussing sexual fluidity, gender identity/expression, camp, LGBT+ culture, and social justice. I worship queerness and the infinite beauty it brings to my life!

The LGBT Resource Center provides a diverse and inclusive space for all UWM students. My co-workers are wonderful, our programming is amazing, and the student regulars are awesome.  You should probably stop in and be a part of the positive energy!

Hello World! My name is Erica Winship and I am the publicity coordinator for the LGBTRC, mostly what I do around here is make designs so you guys are aware of what's going on with our center. It is my last year here and my major is cross-disciplinary between graphic design and printmaking. I really like cats, video games, crafts, naps, anime, and food. I am always happy and most people find me to be kind of weird, but I'm okay with that. I usually drink a lot of energy drinks and coffee, I like to meet new people and hear everyone's story. I love being in an environment with so many unique people, stop and say hi to me!

I intend on obtaining my masters in social work as well as my JD with my area of concentration being family law, healthcare, or corporate law. I love love love to dance, I have a jaw that loves to yap and I love being in the midst of people.

 Tou Fong L. - Executive Assistant

My name is Tou Fong L. I am currently a Freshmen and a Clinical Psychology Major. I am the Communications Coordinator here at the LGBT Resource Center. I love to run, read, and I also dance ballet. Most of the time I am pretty laid back and chill. I find that life keeps going if you relax. I love to drink Lipton Tea. My favorite color is brown because it represents self discipline, self awareness, and calmness. Often times, as a homosexual man from an Asian American family, I find it hard to find a color in the rainbow. One of my main goals in life is finding a way for other Asian American people to be part of my Brown and feel fabulous in life! In just 10 years, I hope to have a Ph D in Psychotherapy.
