About

New to New York and excited to learn, collaborate, and build meaningful relationships in my new home! From Philadelphia City Hall to New York City Council, I’ve built my career around storytelling, strategy, and public service. After serving as Communications Director for a Philadelphia City Councilmember, I recently transitioned to New York City's legislative body to continue communicating and connecting leaders, policy, and community.
