Local & State Policy Advocacy

I’ve spent over a decade advancing policy goals across California. From leading advocacy campaigns at Meta to shaping policy narratives at Together SF, I know how to get real results with policymakers. My work has tackled everything from tech legislation to local community issues, always focused on practical solutions that serve both public and organizational needs.

Cross-Sector Collaboration

I’ve built strong partnerships with government officials, tech leaders, and nonprofits. At SF City Hall, I worked closely with city officials to support local business growth, while at Facebook, I engaged community leaders and advocacy groups to drive outreach programs that connected with SF’s diverse neighborhoods. My ability to navigate different sectors helps me build coalitions that get things done.

Facebook

Driving Change

I started Facebook’s SF community engagement from scratch, creating programs that supported local causes and brought tech into the community in a real way. At Together SF, I’ve led initiatives that make a difference, from organizing public forums to partnering with community groups to hold City Hall accountable. I know how to connect with communities and drive impact that feels authentic and grounded in local needs.
