Free Press works to give people a voice in the crucial decisions that shape our media. We believe that positive social change, racial justice and meaningful engagement in public life require equitable access to technology, diverse and independent ownership of media platforms, and journalism that holds leaders accountable and tells people what’s actually happening in their communities. Free Press is committed to transforming media and technology to realize a just society.As Administrative Director, I ensure that our Operations team supports our people, finances, compliance with outside regulators, and IT. I'm a member of the Leadership Working Group and founder and member of the Race Equity Accountability and Learning white staff group. I work across teams to create a connected, supportive, efficient culture. I am a caring mentor and coach across the organization.I bring a profound commitment to justice and an intersectional understanding of what supports and challenges us, as individuals, as coworkers, and within the systems in which we exist. I listen deeply, support with care and lead with empathy. I am a life-longer learner and leader in strategic change. I believe that in addressing the impact of 400+ years of violent racism in the U.S., in recognizing and undoing the harms of white supremacy, and weaving in the harmful impacts of misogyny, ableism, classism and other forms of oppression, we will be able to heal ourselves, each other and our planet.
