““In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer.
And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”

Policy Analyst, Writer/Researcher, and Executive Director
Life is messy
In my 20 years of experience in writing, philosophy, politics, and public administration, it has become more clear by the day that the world is not, in fact, black and white, but many, many messy shades of gray.
With a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, and a Masters of Public Administration, I offer education and experience in research and evidence-based policymaking and ethical governance, coupled with internationally recognized writing skills. I am also the Executive Director of VC Voter Edge – an organization committed to non partisan registration and education of voters across Ventura County.
