www.NUMUvegan.comAs proud Co-Founder of NUMU Vegan Cheese, I was responsible for launching our groundbreaking vegan cheese (created by my business partner) through a test-group of NYC restaurants and generating positive buzz around our mozzarella. By leveraging my network, I was able to secure the majority of our seed round of funding; the management of documents and communications throughout that process was under my oversight. I maintain a light social media presence (to expand once our distribution grows) and front-line communications. I am point of contact for PR.

Year-round Campaign Strategy and coalition building for the Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos, a project of United Poultry Concerns. This includes being primary point of contact between all allied organizations, maintaining communication between various actions and organizers, consistently working to engage political officials, and representing this controversial campaign on an on-call basis.Field Director and Organizer during Kaporos rituals in NYC each year. Over the course of 7 days, I am responsible for directing and managing over 400 activists providing care to thousands of chickens being illegally confined in crates on city streets. This requires oversight of: a team of volunteer Marshals, volunteer prep of food and water for the thousands of animals, inventory ordering/management of all supplies for the actions, communication with multiple NYPD precincts, a team of volunteer animal rescuers and animal care providers, any media presence or photojournalists, and deescalation of conflict wherever possible. I am also the point of contact between all of the representatives from the allied organizations in real time during the unpredictable week of actions. The above week of actions requires extensive preparation and promotion. Light fundraising is also a necessary component of this role.Accomplishments: when first contracted, United Poultry Concerns was the only group present at the Kaporos mass slaughter each year. The optics were a nightmare, as the campaign was constantly accused of being anti-Semitic and in conflict with the First Amendment (both assertions were false). Since I was brought on board, we now have six allied organizations visibly collaborating (three of which are Faith-based groups), lines of communication with the insular Hasidic community are growing, and our presence at the rituals is now viewed as peaceful and impactful.

Responsible for reviving activist efforts to protect the victimized carriage horses in midtown NYC. I started as a volunteer organizer and creator of the campaign Empty the Carriages in 2017 along with a small number of fellow activists. We countered the fatigue around the 'carriage horse issue' with an enthusiastic volunteer effort at the point of sale for the carriage rides. Eventually, I was hired by the organization NYCLASS (New Yorkers for Safe, Livable, and Safe Streets) and brought with me the acting Executive Director. I also brought on board a part-time individual to provide administrative support to the Executive Director and myself, who remains contracted by the organization today.While employed by NYCLASS the Executive Director and I worked largely as a partnership. However, the items that I was more uniquely responsible for included: field direction during activist events, management of our CRM platform and website(Nationbuilder), email campaigns, event planning, design and copywriting for our materials such as flyers and posters/placards. As a 501(c)4, we worked extensively on relationship building with political officials and consultants, as well as lobbying for various pieces of legislation to help animals in New York City and New York State.I remain an active volunteer and supporter for this organization.

Co-Founder and primary events planner for the largest New York-based vegan group on Facebook. VoNY was recognized by Facebook as one of the vegan groups with the highest engagement on the entire platform. In addition to event planning, I was a daily monitor of the online group and all posts (including conflict engagement and mitigation) and achieved the majority of the coalition-building efforts. While started spontaneously with a modest 300 members, we created a platform where vegans could meet each other online and in person and quickly grew to a diverse group of over 6,000 screened members. As a daily group administrator and organizer/host of varied in-person events, I am proud that we provide a space for athletes, foodies, activists, entrepreneurs, rescuers, and shy folks to learn from each other and support each other's pursuits. VoNY - Vegans of New York has also helped local vegan businesses and non-profits promote to and access the community in a unique and powerful way. This group has literally changed the way an entire NYC community relates to each other and was fully volunteer-operated. Even though I stepped down as a day-to-day administrator, I remain and active member in the group and am available to current admins and co-founder whenever needed.
