She has layered and extensive political advocacy experience particularly in higher education accessibility, voter rights and menstrual equity. She currently works within the Columbus community, running a civic engagement initiative through City Council President Shannon Hardin's campaign that approaches the issue as a form of self-expression: registering and rejuvenating voters, building a community volunteer network, and creating partnerships with other campaigns and progressive organizations.
