Progressive Profile
| Current Occupation | Political Strategist |
| Bio | It started with my work around sexual violence prevention and survivor support, where I saw firsthand how policy gaps harm the most vulnerable. That experience pushed me toward organizing and advocacy. Since then, I’ve taken on a variety of roles in local campaigns: strategy, communications, fundraising, and more. I’ve raised funds through grassroots outreach, built strong relationships with community leaders and local media, and crafted messaging that actually resonates with voters. I’m drawn to the behind-the-scenes work that helps good candidates win and drive meaningful change. 4o |
| Impact | A lot of what I do is about making things feel personal and real to voters. I managed fundraising for a DC Council race where we raised close to $150,000, all through small-dollar donations. That meant constantly reaching out to individuals, tracking every contribution to stay within Fair Elections rules, and making sure our reporting was airtight. I also created most of our printed and digital materials like flyers, social posts, and email blasts. I worked with canvassers to make sure the messaging actually made sense on the ground. One thing I’m proud of is helping plan an Election Night event that brought together a lot of folks from different parts of the city. It turned into a space where people could connect start thinking beyond just one campaign. |
| Mission | This cycle and beyond, my goal is to help elect candidates who genuinely care, those who are truly committed to making a difference for their communities. |
