I would love to support your agency with planning, organizing, and executing your policy advocacy goals, whether that means helping form grassroots organizing strategies, preparing materials and schedules for legislative fly-ins, helping track and advance legislation, or creating and disseminating films to move the hearts and minds of policymakers. I have nearly a decade of experience influencing legislation, and decades of experience organizing and influencing politics.

I have engaged in and led successful community organizing since 2000, have led policy advocacy efforts since 2017, and have a lobbyist profile set up with the State of Alaska, having passed the APOC ethics training.

In 2018, I was the lead advocate working in a grassroots and grassroots fashion towards the (successful) passage of Alaska’s first — and the nation’s broadest — Trauma-Informed Government policy. Since then I have participated in many legislative education and advocacy opportunities, including presenting on trauma-informed policymaking to the legislature, co-authoring a policy brief on the topic, and working with the Governor’s Office to organize a conference for State Department leadership on trauma and trauma-informed policy.

I also presented to the US Senate Afterschool Caucus in 2019, co-organized a series of 2020 policymaker forums on childcare that contributed to an additional $20.5M added to state and municipal budgets to stabilize the childcare sector, organized a mothers’ advocacy meeting with Senator Murkowski in 2022 in concert with Moms Rising and Growing Alaskan Leaders, and organized two policy-focused film screenings in 2023 & two policy-focused film screenings in 2025. These film screenings, held in Alaska’s capital, in Anchorage with a federal and state policymaker panel, and in Wasilla with state and local policymakers and practitioners, have been credited with advancing regulatory and policy change on early childhood issues.

I emceed an “empty chair town hall” in March 2025 for Alaskan constituents to be heard on the federal issues affecting them. I have engaged in community organizing since my teen years, so I am comfortable working on a grassroots level, as well as speaking with policymakers — so long as we are advancing policy that benefits families and advances equity.

Let me help advance the causes you care about!
