About

I help institutions make sense of complexity and act with clarity. Whether navigating disinformation, defending democracy, or closing the gap between policy and people, I bring the strategy, structure, and language needed to move ideas into action.

I am a public policy strategist and researcher with more than a decade of experience across government, law, public health, and campaigns. My work blends systems thinking and narrative insight to translate legal frameworks and legislative data into decision-ready strategies that resonate across sectors and communities.

Currently, I serve as Director of Election Policy and Research at Elias Law Group, leading a three-person team within the Election Protection Intelligence Collaborative. I maintain real-time election administration intelligence across 12 states, monitor 2,000+ election-related bills annually, and deliver rapid guidance on ballot access, voter roll policy, election funding, and administrative failures to support litigation, campaigns, and coalitions. I also design media monitoring and escalation systems to track misinformation targeting Black voters, youth, and new American citizens, producing rapid-response alerts and guidance for a presidential campaign and multiple U.S. Senate campaigns.

Previously, I was the Governor-appointed chair of a 15-member statewide task force in Washington State, securing unanimous adoption of 15 policy recommendations and producing the state’s first policy blueprint for digital hate reporting and enforcement. At HHS, I served as a Social Science Analyst (GS-12) in ASPE, advising on equity-centered program design and funding strategy, reviewing two multimillion-dollar NOFOs under Executive Orders 13985 and 14058, publishing federal research, and chairing a 120-member equity task force. I have also led organizational strategy and fundraising in a 501(c)(4) setting, raising approximately $750K and advising 21 candidates on narrative and digital strategy.

I believe facts matter, but story is what makes them actionable. I build both, and I bring a clear-eyed sense of purpose to every table I join.
