I bring over a decade of experience in relationship management, outreach and public affairs. Currently serving as the Advocacy Outreach Director at Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, where I build relationships with local governments, transportation officials, environmental groups, economic development agencies and more. Previously, while working as Associate Engagement Director for J Street I managed relationships with leaders, volunteers and donors across a 14 state region and develop national programs and strategies to get existing leaders more engaged. In the Bay Area, I worked as the Public Affairs and Civic Engagement Manager in San Francisco for the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), where I built strong relationships with faith groups, labor organizations, elected officials and advocacy organizations. Prior to JCRC, I served as an Outreach Manager for a department in The University of California, where I substantially increased the number of external partnerships and also heightened the level of engagement with said partners.Prior to UC, I worked for various public affairs firms and political organizations, focusing on community outreach, coalition building, strategic and political communications, fundraising and media relations. I graduated in 2013 with my Master of Public Affairs from the University of San Francisco.
Listed skills include Community Outreach, Strategic Communications, Social Media, Public Speaking, and 40 others.
