I help with legal defense via Courtwatch DC, where community members observe local court proceedings to hold judicial actors accountable. I’ve spearheaded multiple campaigns, including: the “WMATA Vote No” campaign, a 10-day digital campaign that demanded the Metro Board of Directors vote “NO” on the expansion of police power public transportation services; the “Boycott Nellies” campaign which brought to light issues of gentrification, created a safe space for Black LGBTQ folks in DC, and held establishments accountable for anti-black behaviors; and the“Vote Yes on 2” campaign which sought to reimagine what public safety looks like through the creation of a regulatory department in Minneapolis. 

Prior to finding my way to community work I was a classroom teacher, and spent the last several years educating in DC Public Charter Schools. Through my work I aspire to build a more equitable DC by creating avenues for access to resources for the most marginalized in our communities.
