Progressive Profile
| Current Employer | California Democratic Party Coordinated Campaign |
| Current Occupation | CA 13 District Organizing Director |
| Tagline | Digital and Communications Coordinator and Campaign Organizing Director |
| Bio | I am a dedicated campaign worker with a passion for grassroots organizing in both online and in-person community spaces. I recently finished my Master of Science in Digital Communication and Information from University of Tennessee Knoxville in May 2024.
I have nine cycles of campaign field experience in five years as an Organizer and Regional Director, including two statewide primaries, two statewide general election coordinated campaigns, and as a campus organizer for a local state legislature election in Virginia in 2019.
Before becoming a full-time field staffer in 2016, I was very involved in Massachusetts state politics in New England as a volunteer, Young Democrats Board Member, and Democratic state committee member (I have also been involved in Rhode Island politics a bit as well for the coordinated slate in the 2018 primary.) In 2020, I was a Regional Engagement Director for the Iowa Democratic presidential primary caucuses, a digital organizer for a labor coalition in Wisconsin, and a candidate organizer for a state senate general election in Minnesota. From 2021-2022, I worked at a consulting firm coordinating the digital side of local issue campaigns, and from 2023-2024, I worked on the California Democratic Party’s Congressional Coordinated Campaign, first as an organizer in the South Central Valley and then as an Organizing Director in the North Central Valley. |
