United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a digital organizer and technology manager with a decade of experience building systems that mobilize communities, streamline workflows, and drive measurable engagement. I partner with organizers and coalitions to design integrated digital strategies, training, and platform integrations that amplify campaigns.
Across roles at political and advocacy organizations I have led platform integrations, consolidated multiple databases into unified CRMs, launched learning management systems, built microsites, and managed digital logistics for high-profile actions. I consistently deliver scalable solutions—automation, API management, and peer-to-peer campaign tooling—that improve outreach and program operations.
I bring a practical, collaborative approach to technology adoption and training, focusing on secure, user-friendly systems and strong partner relationships to maximize impact for advocacy campaigns and coalition work.
