I build bridges between policy, communities, and stakeholders to drive effective urban solutions.

With experience spanning the State Department, local government, and community organizing, I bring a unique perspective to policy implementation and public engagement. 

My background combines:
- Strategic policy development and implementation at the Bureau of Refugees and Migration
- Program evaluation and data-driven decision-making in public diplomacy
- Transportation policy analysis at SF County Transportation Authority
- Community organizing and coalition-building for urban initiatives
- Effective stakeholder engagement and media relations

My expertise lies at the intersection of policy creation, community needs, and strategic communications—translating complex policy into meaningful action and measurable outcomes.
