As an NGO leader in policy and political strategy, I have campaigned in coalition for legislation and regulations on numerous issues including agriculture, climate, forests, human rights, nutrition, and oceans. I aim to bring justice, equity, diversity and inclusion into progressive nonprofit advocacy as a reflection of both who we are and what we are trying to achieve. Some of my career highlights include:►Climate mitigation policies of international financial institutions, including export-credit agencies like the US Export-Import Bank.►Ending a program that distributed coal-industry produced curriculum in primary schools by a national book publisher.►Legislation in New York and California to require that hospitals offer healthy plant-based options to patients.►Stopping federal proposals to expand extraction and transportation of fossil fuels.►Reframing the debate about false climate solutions with evidenced-based research and communications.►Numerous legislative proposals to protect people, animals and the environment at the state, national and international level.►Media spokesperson internationally in print, radio and television.►Articles in peer-reviewed publications on international law, human and nonhuman rights and environmental protection.►Reports, blogs and opeds on climate, energy, agriculture, nutrition, and international negotiations.My areas of expertise include:Strategic Planning | Budgeting & Fiscal Management | Political Messaging | Conflict Resolution and Diplomacy | Negotiations | Team Building | Funder Engagement | Organizing and Engagement | Lobbying | Communications | Coalition Building | International LawOther skills or traits I bring to my career include parenting young children, near-fluency in French and Spanish, IT savvy with a preference for Linux and FOSS, and a penchant for learning how to fix what's broken.
