Meet Jay: Building Community Health Education as LGBT Life Center’s Prevention Specialist

Name/Nickname: Jay 
Pronouns:
He/Him
Job title:
Community Health Navigator/Prevention Specialist

Where’d you come from, and what’d you do there?
I was working at Cricket Wireless and as a consultant to Xcuslive Medical Staffing. At Cricket Wireless, I sold phones and helped with marketing. At Xcusilve, I planned all the company events, and birthday events, and did marketing.

I’m here to help you with… sexual health and wellness education, access to condoms, PrEP, treatment, and safer-sex information, and to connect you with one of our healthcare advocates (care navigators).

How did you become interested in working at the LGBT Life Center?
I worked at MASS. I was the first Prep Coordinator they had, and I also did the first-ever PrEP Rally!

What’s an interesting thing about you that most people don’t know?
I own an entertainment company where I do fashion shows, concerts, event planning, and community events. I also started a Breakfast with Santa event 4 years ago that helps kids from 0 -17 with Christmas gifts. I also have a drag brunch. 

What excites you most about being at the LGBT Life Center?
Being able to help people.
