i have been involved with Veteran Advocacy since as early as 2011. But physical and mental wounds from almost 12 years of service took its toll on me. However I have always managed to find ways to make an impact. I have testified before a SVAC field hearing on the needs of veterans in 2017. Provided input on language for S.2341 Veteran Debt Fairness Act 2018. Advised on community veterans issues for a Veteran running for Congress in 2018. I became fluent in social media channels in order to better amplify a message. In 2020 I found myself managing a multi-state paid social media ad campaign and working as a grassroots organizer. I now intend to leverage all of my skills and experience to do what I have found works to effect change. start conversations, find common ground and work towards solutions. The KISS method, just like what worked during mine and so many other veteran's service.
