As the former national organizing director for a youth coalition group, she oversaw voter registrations, managed hundreds of youth leaders and drove voter turn-out in the 2018 midterm elections. Following her success, she worked as the senior director for a policy institute focused on solution-driven advocacy, designing and implementing pilot programs in telehealth and economic development.  As part of her work, she created and led an inter-generational coalition focusing on educational equity, culminating in the successful passage of the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, a state education bill.
