Bio

I build winning campaigns by telling better stories. My experience ranges from on-the-ground organizing that flipped a key seat in Texas to directing a $1M statewide field program in Oregon. As a political strategist with a creative soul, I craft messages that resonate and build the infrastructure to deliver them effectively. My passion is democracy reform, inspired by seeing the real-world success of ranked-choice voting in my own community. Let’s connect and build a more functional democracy together.

Impact

I make an impact by building winning campaigns and driving tangible community change.

  • Electoral Wins: I managed a $1 million statewide field program in Oregon and was a key organizer in flipping a Texas State House seat. I build the strategy and the ground game to win tough fights.
  • Democracy Reform: I’ve seen the power of ranked-choice voting firsthand in my own city of Portland, helping to elect a more representative city council. I’m passionate about building a more functional democracy.
  • Community & Policy: As a Human Rights Commissioner, I co-authored policy recommendations to improve residents’ quality of life. As a Housing Coordinator, I directly secured permanent housing for over 15 people experiencing homelessness.
Mission

My goal is to bridge the gap between the campaign trail and the community fridge.

In the immediate cycle, I’m looking to lead as a Political or Communications Director, using my skills to win elections that shift the balance of power. I have a proven track record of doing just that, from Texas to Oregon.

But my long-term mission is to use those wins to build what I call ‘dual power.’ This means leveraging the political victories we achieve to intentionally build the power of community-led mutual aid. I want to help create a political environment where our elected officials see their role not just as service providers, but as facilitators who actively divert resources and protections to the grassroots networks that are already keeping our communities safe and cared for. My goal is to create a virtuous cycle: electoral power protects community power, and community power builds a more just and resilient world for us all.
