About me
I have nearly twenty years of experience in national, regional and local advocacy. I’ve led the successful design and implementation of communication strategies, defining and executing public policy agendas, and analyzing policy proposals.
I build bridges and create strong coalitions that work together to improve people’s lives. I am committed to making government more accessible — and responsive — to the people it serves.
I grew up in Whatcom County and am the proud mom of two young children who attend public school in Southeast Seattle. I love delicious food, am an avid reader, and spend a portion of every summer “Up North” in Michigan.
