I'm an experienced nonprofit lobbyist, community organizer, and proud former federal employee. With a background in public health and public policy, I've worked primarily as a registered lobbyist for state and national nonprofit organizations. I have led successful federal and state legislative campaigns in both red and blue states, and have a history of building effective relationships with decision makers on both sides of the aisle. I have mobilized grassroots and grasstops advocates in support of policies ranging from Clean Air protections to federal nutrition programs in the Farm Bill to Non-Defense discretionary programs in the federal budget.  I've served on the Board of Directors for various civic-minded nonprofit organizations including the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy and Let's Fix This, and currently serve on the Board of Directors of the Woody Guthrie Coalition.​

​

I completed my undergraduate degree at Oklahoma State University, earned a Master of Public Health degree from the University of Arizona, and a Master of Public Administration from the University of Oklahoma. ​I'm proud to live and work in Oklahoma City.
