About
Action-oriented and community-minded leader motivated to transition into work focused on protecting voting rights, increasing civic engagement, and strengthening democratic institutions. I am a collaborative community builder who naturally steps into leadership roles when advocacy, structure, and support are needed. My leadership style is grounded in service, relationship-building, and practical problem-solving.
Throughout my life, I have served in advocacy and leadership roles across education, nonprofit, and civic spaces. I have volunteered as a classroom and sports team parent coordinator and currently serve as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) in Brazos County, Texas. In college, I served as a Senator in the Student Government Association, and later as a member of the Alumni Board for two years. As an educator, I led my school’s PBIS initiative to Operational status to improve student academic and behavioral outcomes. Professionally, I contribute to cross-functional committees advancing the strategic, ethical, and effective use of Generative AI across Texas A&M University.
I am committed to applying my experience in leadership, advocacy, stakeholder collaboration, and community engagement to roles across the democracy and civic participation ecosystem.
