Experience

Eighteen years of experience managing teams, driving strategy and executing programs.

  • Strategic Advisor

    I currently advise organizations on political strategy, paid media programs, earned media outreach, and management. I conduct landscape analyses and provide strategic recommendations on advocacy efforts, as well as running full advocacy campaigns. I specialize in paid media strategy and execution, including coordinating vendors, for campaigns small and big–four of my recent paid media campaigns have topped $50 million. In addition, I have experience with public opinion research and messaging. My clients have included Climate Power, Breakthrough Energy, Climate Reality Project, NextGen America, and Third Way.

  • Presidential Campiagn Manager

    As manager of Tom Steyer 2020, I oversaw a presidential primary campaign that spent over $350 million over nine months, for a first-time candidate who won 3rd place in South Carolina and participated in six DNC sanctioned debates. I led all elements of the campaign, including strategic planning, staffing structure, and budget, as well as managing a staff of 600.

  • Organizational Leader

    My time at NextGen America was one of great change. I led an overhaul of the organization following the 2016 election and oversaw the rebranding from NextGen Climate to NextGen America to reflect a broader progressive agenda. Then, as executive director, I directed the national SuperPAC, C4, and C3 organizations focused on electing progressive champions across the country, including the largest youth vote organization in history that registered 257,000 young voters and reached over seven million voters in-person or online.
