Progressive Profile
| Tagline | Building People Power Through Organizing, Operations, & Coalitions |
| Bio | Detail-driven and mission-oriented campaign strategist with experience leading high-impact political campaigns at the municipal, state legislative, and congressional levels. I’ve served as a campaign manager across three cycles in Western Maryland, building full-scale operations, managing cross-functional teams, coordinating endorsements, and driving complex field and fundraising programs in a region often overlooked by traditional party infrastructure. I’ve built grassroots infrastructure from scratch, flipped red-held seats, and helped elect history-making leaders—all while managing logistics, compliance, volunteer pipelines, messaging, and coalition relationships. My strengths lie in organizing, operations, partnerships, and execution—and I’m particularly passionate about creating systems that empower others, uplift marginalized voices, and make movement work sustainable. In addition to my campaign and PAC work, I bring over three years of experience in clerical, research, and data-heavy roles, plus a strong creative background in graphic design, messaging, and digital content. I graduated from Georgetown University with a B.A. in Government and minors in Sociology and Global Medieval Studies. While I’m passionate about tackling systemic problems head-on, I value humor, teamwork, and humility. I’m looking for the next opportunity where I can bring strategic clarity, operational excellence, and collaborative leadership to a mission that matters. |
