I have seven 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.) Most recently 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.

What inspires me to take action every day is the need for affordable healthcare reform and equity in the quality of healthcare services. My family has a history of mental health conditions and my dad was recently diagnosed with Parkinsons’. I have grown up with a couple of preexisting conditions, one related to digestion and another as a learning disability. Access to quality and affordable health care is something that affects my entire family and my ability to lead a fulfilling and economically sustainable life. The coronavirus pandemic has brought to light the need for improvements to healthcare access, especially for young adults and for low-income individuals and families.
