After 15 years away, I decided to come home to Alabama and home to my alma mater as their lobbyist. I was able to work with the Republican supermajority to push a $7.1 million budget for ASMS. Thanks to my legislative ace--a staunch Trump supporter with a 92% NRA grade--we got a $670K funding jump and $260K in private support. That put us just shy of $1.

With a tribe of social justice and data rock stars, we built a social movement that tried to empower U.S. communities of color to build self-determination using big data.

It's hard to put this transformative, humbling experience into LinkedIn-style words, so I'm just going to list three of the cool things I got to do at HKS.1.)

My title was "Senior Advisor," but I fixed problems for nonprofits... like Harrison on Scandal.Examples:■ A private school's founder unexpectedly dies.

Methodist Home for Children.Coolest client: The National Trust for Historic.

When Bev Perdue dropped out of the governor's race at the 12th hour, I helped Caroline Valand put together a gubernatorial campaign for our boss, Lieutenant Governor Walter Dalton.

Working with two state agencies, I built progressive policy coalitions for Lieutenant Governor Walter Dalton and State Treasurer Janet Cowell.
