My work specializes in: Strategic Relationship Development: cultivating high-value partnerships with policymakers, media, funders, and industry leaders.

Political wins through statewide initiative efforts, legislative victories and grass tops built advocacy. Past engagements include advancing statewide reforms, scaling adoption of innovative products, and positioning nonprofits as trusted authorities.
