I am a racial justice policy advocate based in New York City. I believe strongly that those closest to the problems must be leaders in generating solutions, and I'm committed to supporting directly impacted community members and organizers in their fight to achieve a world where everyone can thrive.

For 15 years, I've worked with grassroots groups and coalitions working to advance racial and economic justice, everywhere from South Dakota to East New York. Currently, I'm the Grassroots Relationships Manager at Liberation in a Generation, a national movement support organization building the power of people of color to create an economy where all people of color thrive—in one generation. Prior to LibGen, I trained over 600 New Yorkers on legislative advocacy as part of the team at the Advocacy Institute; led work around public housing and fair housing at the Association for Neighborhood & Housing Development; and founded a new practice area at the Urban Justice Center Community Development Project (now TakeRoot Justice), which focuses on fostering equitable neighborhood change.

My work has been published in The Yale Law Journal, The New York Daily News, and City Limits and featured in City & State, Teen Vogue and The New York Times, which called our post-Sandy relief effort in Coney Island "better organized than the City." I am a 2018 NextCity Vanguard and a professionally trained mediator. A first-generation American born and raised in the NYC area, I live in Flatbush, Brooklyn and am a graduate of Yale Law School and Wesleyan University.
