My political journey ignited early: news-obsessed by age 3, tuning into NPR at 12, and organizing at 17, forging a relentless drive to hold decision-makers accountable to citizen values through fresh, intersectional lenses, especially amplifying the chronically underrepresented disability rights movement. Excelling in civics and critical thinking as a public-school student, I dove into field volunteering at 18 and 22 with Obama for America, at 20 on a Senate primary campaign (despite ableism derailing my university path multiple times), at 24 as a Colorado Coordinated Campaign fellow, and then a decade shaping the Douglas County Democratic Party. By 27, I scaled statewide with Colorado Young Democrats, the Democratic Education Council of Colorado, and Democrats with Disabilities, evolving into expert campaign management, organizational innovation, and policy advocacy centered on disability access, education, and youth empowerment.

My work has included chairing two Colorado Democratic House District Central and Executive Committees, leading grassroots organizing, rebranding local party infrastructure, and coordinating voter outreach and community service projects to increase visibility. Additional roles include serving as 2nd Vice Chair of Democrats with Disabilities (now as President of Disability Strong Democrats Colorado), a Steering Committee member at-large for the Democratic Education Council of Colorado, Vice Chair of Technology and committee chair for Colorado Young Democrats, and leadership in Douglas County Young Democrats, where responsibilities span digital strategy, fundraising, volunteer leadership, and national convention logistics. Policy and advocacy experience includes serving on the Colorado Department of Higher Education Disability Services Advisory Committee, the Colorado Statewide Independent Living Council, and contributing to legislative efforts like House Bill 22‑1255 to improve higher education access for disabled students.
