Since 2008, I've been climbing the career rungs of advocacy organizations and political campaigns, primarily working in areas requiring relationship building, strategic planning, grassroots organizing, and media and public relations.

I excel at building communities and coalitions, achieving stakeholder support, and communication with media professionals in tv, print, radio, and other mediums.

Fun Fact: I played the killer in a SyFy channel horror film that saw a limited theatrical release and repeated reruns on SyFy and other channels.
