Message

At Conservation Colorado, I lead climate and transportation policy campaigns focused on vehicle electrification, land use, and clean multimodal transportation. I develop campaign plans with organizational staff, environmental partners, community organizations, and policymakers, and serve as a registered lobbyist at the Colorado State Capitol.

Previously, I led Front Range organizing strategy and power-building on environmental justice, climate, air quality, water, and land-use campaigns. Across my work, I’ve built coalitions and community partnerships, advanced policy priorities, and brought an equity lens to campaigns affecting disproportionately impacted communities.
