Currently, I'm the Vice President of Development for the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, the only organization responsible for the full national landscape of state legislatures, crafting the long-term strategy to elect Democrats across the country. I deeply believe that state legislatures are the building blocks of our democracy and pass the policies that most affect Americans’ day-to-day lives.

My goal is to evolve and direct a multi-channel fundraising strategy, aligning it meticulously with the two-year political cycle, regulatory requirements, and cash flow considerations. My team and I will ensure a robust donor pipeline and implement innovative fundraising tactics.

In this role, I both led and supported the development of effective systems and processes for a rapidly growing organization, driving significant improvements in operational efficiency and fundraising effectiveness. I accomplished this along with my team by utilizing advanced tools to optimize fundraising efforts, enabling precise donor engagement and securing major gifts. The restructure of the relational giving program pipeline improved the donor experience and increased funds raised. My commitment is to compelling communication, engaging donors and prospects, and furthering our mission and financial goals. Under my leadership, the team successfully met ambitious targets for the 2022 Q4 fundraising season, demonstrating our ability to deliver under pressure and innovate communication strategies for long-term success.

As a dedicated member of the inaugural DEIB and BIPOC Committee, I contributed to creating inclusive policies and structures that integrated diversity and equity into our organization's strategy and operations, reflecting our commitment to a broader social impact. My role was integral in advancing our organization's growth and fostering a culture of inclusivity, excellence, and sustained impact.

In my role as a fundraising and communications Trainer at the nation's largest Democratic campaign training organization, I'm a part of the mission of equipping Democrats with the skills, tools, and resources necessary to win elections and build enduring power in their communities.

The organization is a pivotal resource, having trained more Democrats in effective campaign strategies than any other.

I have engaged with various candidates, campaign staffers, and local leaders, offering expert training and resources tailored to the intricate landscape of political campaigns. My responsibilities encompass delivering communications and finance training programs.

As the Founder of ApaFirm, I spearheaded campaign planning and fundraising strategy, implementing comprehensive approaches for various candidates and organizations across over 40 states. My focus on holistic strategies and hands-on coordination has led to significant electoral impacts and fundraising successes nationwide.

At the ApaFirm, we crafted and managed full-service fundraising strategies, including call time, events, PAC, and major gifts, and ran innovative online and offline campaigns.

Collaboration was key; I partnered with marketing, communications, and digital engagement consultants and/or internal teams to ensure our messaging and strategies were impactful, resonated with diverse audiences, and aligned with overarching campaign goals. Together, we developed and implemented nuanced plans to identify, cultivate, steward, upgrade, and renew donors, establishing long-term relationships and continuous support for our causes.

Leading from the front, I built and managed teams of passionate and skilled individuals, coordinating efforts both on the ground and remotely. Our teamwork extended beyond our organization as we partnered with local and national groups and coalition organizations, amplifying our campaign impact through strategic alliances.

I developed and managed key performance indicators to maintain our competitive edge, focusing on top priorities and ensuring our goals were met precisely and efficiently. Communication was a cornerstone of my leadership, maintaining clear, consistent dialogue with teams to ensure everyone was aligned with our vision and strategy.

In this role, I not only led campaigns to victory but also nurtured the growth and development of team members, fostering an environment of excellence and dedication to making a meaningful difference in the political landscape.
