Owner and Maker of Fish & Chip Craft Co., Sacramento’s eco-conscious candle company.

Oversee the procurement, implementation and reporting of multiple tobacco control-related grants, including projects from the Truth Initiative, California Department of Public Health Tobacco Control Program, and Sacramento County Tobacco Education Program. Currently implementing a $1.8 million grant from the California Tobacco Control Program for which I developed the 5-year work plan spanning 2020-2025. Our focusses of this project include advocating for smoke-free parks, smoke-free outdoor worksites and smoke-free multi-unit housing, in addition to operating a youth coalition.I am a member of the Greater Sacramento Smoke & Tobacco Free Coalition, serving as an Executive Committee Member and Co-Chair to the Policy Taskforce.

Using a best-practice grading rubric from ChangeLab Solutions, I worked for the Policy Evaluation Tracking System (PETS) team to grade municipal codes on the strength of their outdoor secondhand smoke policies, and multi-unit housing smoke free policies. The data collected is used widely by the California Department of Public Health Tobacco Control Program, and their competitive grantees. Further, it informs decisions made by local agencies to bring forth proposals for stronger language to amend their policies in their municipalities, effectively creating policies that are more protective of the health of their constituents.

Completed a 1-year fellowship funded by the University of California Office of the President to improve the Smoke and Tobacco Free policy on the UC Davis campus and in the Davis, CA community. The project was a multi-faceted approach aimed at increasing the visibility of the policy on campus, furthering old and developing new stakeholder relationships, addressing the future of compliance and enforcement strategies, and performing ongoing assessments and data collection to gauge awareness, compliance, and resulting attitude and behavior changes.
