## About

I'm a Professor in the Gender Institute for Teaching and Advocacy at Metropolitan State University Denver where I teach courses on  love, sex, identity, leadership, storytelling, narrative, emerging traditions, the art of everyday life, and global beauty cultures. In my teaching we focus less on "stuff" than the process of personal transformation, using the subject matter as catalysts on your journey, making each class ultimately about you. I mentor students in all majors and was awarded Outstanding Faculty Advisor in 2026. I work with first generation students, academic misfits, nontraditional older students, students curious about graduate school, and those who straddle multiple professional and personal identities. My own creative/scholarly work includes  peer-reviewed illustrated articles, autoethnographic essays, and ethnographic studies in journals and in anthologies from scholarly publishers including Routledge, University Press of Mississippi, and University Press of Kentucky.

## Sessions I offer

- [Free Consultation](https://www.everyexpert.com/sandramizumotoposey/book/free-consultation) — 30 min, Free
  A way to start the journey: Tell me what you are hoping to gain from a pathway mentor -- what is the dilemma you keep returning to? Time to tell a bit of your story and time to ask me anything so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not to sign up for the Pathways bundle and dig deep into the big questions about life that you return to again and again.
- [Your Story \- Pathways Session One](https://www.everyexpert.com/sandramizumotoposey/book/your-story) — 1 hour, $120.00
  A low-pressure interview and storytelling session where you get to tell me what's important to you and where you've been on your journey so far. This will inform the direction and structure of future sessions.
- [Explorations \- Pathways Session Two](https://www.everyexpert.com/sandramizumotoposey/book/explorations-and-pathways-session) — 1 hour, $120.00
  Based on any homework or reflection work assigned after our last meeting, we look at potential directions for your journey and explore what speaks to your core self.
- [Directions and Options \- Pathways Session Three](https://www.everyexpert.com/sandramizumotoposey/book/directions-and-options) — 1 hour, $120.00
  In this session we synthesize all we've discussed so far and discuss concrete next steps that you could take toward a more authentic life path.
- [Wrap Up and Final Questions \- Pathways Session Four](https://www.everyexpert.com/sandramizumotoposey/book/wrap-up-and-final-questions) — 1 hour, $120.00
  After you've had time to explore your options, I'll help you determine what concrete next steps feelsright to you. It's also your time to ask any follow up questions you may have or potential future additional sessions you may like to set up after you've been on the path for a while.
