As the Director of Political/Public Affairs and Development at Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS®, I lead the communication strategy and assist in management of the government affairs department for the second largest trade association in California. I build and maintain relationships with over two hundred media outlets, elected officials, and policy makers, promoting REALTOR® friendly policies and initiatives through effective public relation campaigns and advocacy efforts. I also oversee fundraising and event management for the association, securing sponsorships and donations from various stakeholders and partners. I have a strong background in public affairs, government relations, policy creation, and social media formation, having served as the Director of Operations for the Chen for California Controller campaign and as a political appointee at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). During my time at HHS, I served at the highest level of government on the Operation Warp Speed team, rolling out vaccines at a historic speed globally during a once in a century pandemic. I have ascertained a Master's in Pubic Policy with a specialization in International Relations and National Security from Pepperdine University, along with a double-bachelor's in History and Political Science from the University of Alabama in Huntsville with an Honors College diploma. I am passionate about domestic politics, policy consulting, and domestic business ventures, and I have received multiple awards in these areas, such as winning the Colonial Dames Historical Writing Award and the John Hendricks Discovery Scholarship.
