(she/her)

Mirranda is a neurodivergent queer woman with deep ties to the LGBTQA+ community and she is incredibly excited to join Transponder in their work moving our community toward inclusivity. Mirranda has lived in Eugene off and on for most of her life. She is a full-time parent and a sometimes slam poet who also has her PhD in Sociology.  Her other passions include continuously learning from her teenager how to be a good human; accessible education and disability advocacy; having way too many houseplants; camping; D&D; finding the best queer and neurodiverse online spaces in the Star Trek fandom; and, of course, adopting more houseplants.
