As a Program Manager at Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids (CTFK), I oversee and implement the Youth Advocacy Program, working collaboratively with various departments to advance advocacy-related programming. I identify and support the engagement of advocates, advocacy groups, and key leaders that represent communities most impacted by health disparities and inequities in targeted policy campaigns.I have a strong background in advocacy and organizing, with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Government & International Relations from Boston University. I have also consulted for A Healthier Democracy, supporting with the launch of LinkHealth, a pilot program that increased broadband access among low-income communities in Boston. Previously, I was the Deputy Campaign Manager and Field Director for GOTVAX, providing COVID-19 vaccines to the most affected communities during the pandemic. My core competencies include stakeholder management, public speaking, nonprofit organizations, event planning, and public policy. I am passionate about empowering young people to take action on issues that affect their health and well-being, such as tobacco control, social justice, and democracy. I am also fluent in Spanish and English, and have received multiple honors and certifications, including the Gold Congressional Award and the Proficient Public Speaker certification from Toastmasters International.
