Government affairs principal at NURSE PUBLIC AFFAIRS who drafted and advocated for Florida legislation enacted as Chapter 2024-118.

Message

At NURSE PUBLIC AFFAIRS, I advise organizations on government affairs, legislative advocacy, and policy analysis. I draft legislation and amendments, represent policy interests before state policymakers, and help move policy concepts through legislative consideration.

I drafted and successfully advocated for Florida's CS/CS SB 1680 Advanced Technology, enacted as Chapter 2024-118, Laws of Florida. I also advocated for Colorado legislation protecting immigrants and addressing the seizure of identification documents, both signed into law in 2026.

As Political Director at COLORADO IMMIGRANT RIGHTS COALITION, I directed legislative and advocacy strategy and developed a web-based legislative tracking dashboard with regular reporting and rapid alerts. Earlier, I represented student interests before the Florida Legislature as State Director of Legislative Affairs for the FLORIDA COLLEGE SYSTEM STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION.
