Political Services
Speech Writing, Press & Communications
I have over 8 years experience engaging with members of the press as an interviewer and interviewee going back to my time as the producer of WMSD-TV News in High School. Write here if you need assistance drafting speeches or publishing press releases, capturing events or coordinating press conferences, creating or adjusting social media strategies or help sharpening political messaging. I have helped organizations, political campaigns and private businesses mobilize tens of thousands of volunteers, garner hundreds of thousands of followers and raise the consciousness of millions of people as well as accumulate millions of dollars for anti-violence and pro-health causes. Examples of my press work include the 2018 CNN Town Hall after the Parkland Shooting, where I helped prepare student questions ,and MSNBC'S 2020 PRESIDENTIAL GUN SAFETY FORUM, where I helped coordinate journalists to interview the then Democratic candidates for President.
International Human Rights Advocacy
I organize, lobby and advocate publicly for the promotion of human rights both in the United States and abroad. While I am an active member of a variety of organizations, I also carry out this work freelance and am happy to connect with you. I've worked alongside a variety of partners like Amnesty International USA, where I lent my voice as a young survivor of violence testifying to the 2019 INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS and delivering testimony to various embassies in the 2020 UNIVERSAL PERIODIC REVIEW FOR THE UNITED STATES. As a past winner of the International Children's Peace Prize, I also coordinate with the KidsRights Foundation and their student organization State of Youth. Being based in Brooklyn, I am only a train ride away from the United Nations and regularly seek opportunities to engage there.
Political Lobbying
I have roughly eight years experience leading groups of college and high school aged youth in the DMV (DC, VA, and MD) area to lobby and petition state, city, and Congressional Representatives on issues
of gun violence prevention, mental health support, and community safety. This work has culminated in greater funding for violence research and violence interruption services as well as historic gun safety legislation FEDERALLY and in VA. Since moving to New York, I have worked with local, state and faith leaders to support initiatives for public safety, protest rights, transit expansion, healthcare coverage, human rights and immigrant protections. Most recently, I been working with local environmental advocacy groups to promote anti-pollution policy at the gubernatorial level.
Campaign Consulting
I routinely work with local, state and federal campaigns for public office that are dedicated to reducing violence and promoting higher quality of life. I have a lot of experience working with folks running for office in CA, VA, TX, NY, FL, MD and DC. I have carried out political campaign work in over three dozen states to date and seen great success at raising youth voter registration and turnout. I have an abundance of experience wrangling volunteers, promoting policy positions and negotiating political endorsements. EMAIL me if you have a campaign you would like support on.
