  • Welcome to My Website!

    I graduated from Fairhaven College at Western Washington University in 2005. I designed my own academic concentration entitled Political, Economic and Social Analysis for Just Policy.

    Here's how it came to be that I have a website: during my Senior year at Western I was an intern with the Washington State Legislature . It was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had, and I would highly recommend it to almost any college student, regardless of academic major. My sister, Eve, got me a website to keep family and friends up to date on my internship while I was in Olympia. (She later taught me html and I redesigned and built this website!) My experience in the Legislature - particularly through attending Education and Juvenile Justice Committee hearings - helped me to realize that ensuring well-being and opportunity for our kids is essential to building a more equitable society.

    After graduating I volunteered for a year with Child Protective Services and continued to work in the private sector in Bellingham, WA. In 2008 I moved to the Bay Area, CA to begin a career in the nonprofit or public sector. I feel most energized when I'm problem-solving, sharing information, and working on behalf of underserved kids. I currently work for Preschool California, an advocacy organization working to increase access to quality pre-k throughout California, starting with the kids who need it most.
