What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my campaign management skills while contributing to meaningful political initiatives and fostering community engagement.

I have successfully managed day-to-day operations, including budgeting and staff coordination, to ensure the smooth running of campaigns.

In my previous roles, I have directed voter outreach initiatives, coordinated media relations, and analyzed polling data to refine campaign strategies. My commitment to continuous improvement has led to increased voter turnout and support for candidates. I am passionate about empowering women leaders through workshops and training sessions, and I strive to create inclusive environments that foster growth and leadership.
