Data Director

Sunrise Movement

2020-Present

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 co-lead Sunrise's presidential and downballot targeting strategy and lead our electoral data work, which encompassed phones, texts, relational, and hand-written 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. 

Senior Policy Analyst

Data for Progress

2019-2020

I was the first person in the country to gain access to the raw AVR data from the Secretary of State offices, and produced a novel method of comparing state reported AVR opt-out rates.

I also worked on a short-term grant to research the jobs created by the Green New Deal and the demographics of the people who would have those jobs, focusing on race, gender, age, and geography.

Development Manager

New Era Colorado

2019-2020

Though I was hired on to the fundraising team, I quickly established myself as a tech-savvy, data-driven organizer. I would jump from attending a major donor meeting to analyzing our small-dollar donor data in R to optimize our monthly giving program to helping organizers with their Google Sheets.

Executive Director

Engineers for a Sustainable World

2016-2019

Engineers for a Sustainable World is a nonprofit network made up of people passionate about technical sustainability from all across the world. I lead a volunteer staff of 30 and oversee a network of over 1,750 young engineers at 45 collegiate and professional chapters.

​

At ESW, created two national programs. The first being Build Day, a national program to build more sustainable communities by empowering neighborhoods to gather and complete one-day builds. Since April 2018, we have reached over 500 people through our two Build Day pilot programs

I also developed the Resilient CommUnity Design Challenge that pairs student teams with local organizations to collaborate on solutions that build resilience to climate change.

In additional to my programmatic work, I handled the tech for the organization. I initiated the migration from CiviCRM to Nationbuilder, including setting up the design of the site with customized coding and establishing and maintaining the entire back end of database.
