Experience
2020 - Present
Data Director
Sunrise Movement
Pittsburgh, PA
Sunrise hired me as their first Data Director at the beginning of January 2020 to lead their new data team. I led a CRM migration from Action Network to EveryAction in three months flat, and within the next few months had shifted the overwhelming majority of Sunrise's organizers to use our data systems.
I built out Sunrise's data infrastructure for Sunrise School, our remote leadership training program, giving Sunrise staff data driven insight into their organizing for the first time ever.
I then went on to lead Sunrise's presidential and downballot data work, which encompassed phones, texts, and postcards. For the first time ever, Sunrise was able to accurately report the number of voters we reached across all our modes of organizing for our field work.
