My fascination with stories began as a student journalist seeking to illuminate overlooked narratives and evolved into a career centered on the belief that the most compelling approaches emerge when you can see the full picture: the stakeholders, the systems, and the stories that connect them all. As a UC Berkeley alum, I developed deep expertise in how narratives shape perceptions and drive action—knowledge that became practical expertise through legislative research, targeted communication, and working with everyone from community activists to state legislators.

Professionally, I’m a nonprofit consultant, research specialist, and writer who thrives at the intersection of analysis and advocacy. I love spotting patterns in complex data, building systems that solve problems, and telling the story behind the numbers. My experience spans coordinating multi-site studies, managing large-scale public events, and building operational frameworks from the ground up—work that consistently delivers measurable impact through resourcefulness that extends beyond traditional role boundaries.

What drives me is the puzzle of how systems work, how they break, and how they can be rebuilt better. From increasing engagement by 35% through personalized communication approaches to orchestrating comprehensive organizational modernization, I’ve learned that meaningful change requires both visionary thinking and meticulous execution. My background navigating complex regulatory environments—from federal compliance protocols to multi-jurisdictional event coordination—has taught me that sustainable change demands both compelling narrative development and robust operational infrastructure.

I’m particularly passionate about the intersection of research, policy, and communication. My work spans from investigating political landscapes through social psychology research to coordinating with government officials across multiple jurisdictions for large-scale public initiatives. This experience has reinforced my belief that effective advocacy requires both rigorous analysis and the ability to translate complex insights into compelling, actionable plans.

At my core, I’m drawn to environments where traditional playbooks don’t exist—where curiosity, analytical thinking, and the ability to find the right voice for each audience can create breakthrough solutions. My aim is to help organizations navigate complex regulatory landscapes and build campaigns that translate insights into measurable, sustainable change.
