Bio

I’ve spent the past decade and a half immersed in the social, political, and cultural fields, carving out a role that centers on communications, political policy advocacy, and community development. My work is grounded in creating impactful courses on civic engagement, civic education, and community mobilization—courses designed to empower, entertain, enlighten, and educate. These initiatives are catalysts for cultivating the next generation of leaders in our communities.

Through innovative strategies and tactics, I bridge the digital and on-the-ground worlds to maximize the effectiveness of organizing and mobilization efforts. My focus is on building sustainable infrastructures within the progressive movement.

I’ve run for office, hosted multiple podcasts on social and political commentary, and facilitated workshops focused on community development and mobilization. I create and teach courses, tailoring them for diverse audiences, from fifth graders learning the foundations of civic engagement to adults ready to lead change.

Beyond education, I am deeply committed to community service—whether it’s working with the homeless, teaching job sustainability, addressing mental health, or promoting self-sufficiency. My mission is to build self-determined, progressive ecosystems that empower individuals and uplift entire communities.

Impact

Over the years, I’ve made it my mission to create meaningful change by blending creativity, advocacy, and community engagement. Through building a left-wing progressive platform on YouTube and TikTok, I’ve sparked conversations, amplified voices, and cultivated a space where ideas and solutions take center stage. Using spoken word and music, I address pressing social issues, offering a powerful medium to connect with people and inspire action.

My run for office was not just a campaign—it was a movement that ignited hope, galvanized the community, and inspired others to see themselves as agents of change. Beyond politics, my advocacy for mental health has remained a cornerstone of my work, breaking stigmas and creating resources that empower individuals to take control of their well-being.

I’ve organized community events, from parades to cultural festivals, that celebrate our shared humanity and bring people together in the spirit of unity and progress. Whether it’s through hosting workshops, leading mobilization efforts, or creating platforms for underrepresented voices, my impact is rooted in the belief that strong communities build a better future.

Mission

This election cycle, I’m committed to empowering communities and driving meaningful change through innovative strategies and grassroots action. My focus is on consulting in community mobilization and civic engagement, teaching communities how to be self-sufficient, self-determined, and ready to take ownership of their futures.

I aim to build up rural grassroots initiatives that effectively attract and engage new voters, bringing overlooked voices into the conversation. By crafting better messaging that connects directly with the issues voters care about, I plan to help campaigns and organizations resonate with people on a deeper level.

Creativity will play a central role in my work this cycle. I’m passionate about finding new ways to use art—spoken word, music, and storytelling—as a tool to inspire civic participation and foster collective action. Whether it’s teaching the next generation about their power as voters, helping communities organize from the ground up, or building movements that last far beyond Election Day, my goal is to make every voice heard and every vote count.
