Planned Parenthood Federation of America
Digital State Campaigns Manager
In this role, I developed and managed online engagement strategies and content to educate and mobilize supporters across Planned Parenthood's national and local digital properties — including on the web, social media, paid digital media, and email marketing. This role was pretty cool because I got to develop best practices for 49 state and local Planned Parenthood organizations and provide them with mentoring and training. This role included developing rapid response content (live-tweeting, graphics, or videos) covering state legislative fights for the following channels: @plannedparenthood, @ppact, and @alexismcgill. This is a long way of saying that I created a lot of viral content and taught others how to do the same.
Spotlight: Launched, scripted, and created a weekly social media video series on @ppact explaining complex advocacy and political updates in an accessible, shareable format, garnering over 2 million organic views.

I’ve worked at a lot of pretty great places (we’re talking about ~8 years doing digital communications and community building).
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio
Digital Communications & Strategy Manager
My day-to-day included developing statewide strategies and best practices to expand our social media presence and mobilize supporters. I managed and created content for our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok) — yes, writing and designing every single graphic! I also managed our targeted email program: writing, formatting, and scheduling emails to an audience of 90,000+ supporters. I also produced web content for the PPAO website and managed our statewide SMS program (yay for relational organizing!)) Previously, my title was Digital Organizer.
Spotlight: I launched “Meme Friday” which helped increase our Instagram account from 1,000 followers to 26,000 followers, making us the most-followed Planned Parenthood affiliate in the country. I also launched our TikTok account, gaining us around 12,000 followers in just a few months.
Equality Ohio
Central Ohio Field Organizer
In this role, I was responsible for working with local lawmakers across Central Ohio to pass city ordinances that would provide non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ residents and visitors. I also developed LGBTQ+ cultural competency trainings that I taught to businesses, law firms, and temporary housing centers.
Spotlight: In 2019, I worked with city council and community members to pass Westerville’s non-discrimination ordinance.
Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio
Communications & Digital Media Intern
In this role, I created content for and managed PPAO’s social media page (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram). This role was fun because I worked on the 2018 gubernatorial race (live-tweeted debates, made candidate graphics, and did an Instagram Live of our community canvasses). I also wrote press releases, organized press conferences, and spoke at rallies on behalf of PPAO.
Spotlight: Actress Kathryn Hahn canvassed with us in Cleveland during this election and we were able to generate a ton of social media content around it!
Unite for Reproductive and Gender Equity (URGE)
Canvassing Manager
My responsibilities in this position included leading a team of door-to-door canvassers to educate community members about the importance of inclusive science-based sex education in Ohio schools. This role was super cool because I got to hire, train, and manage over 20 incredible young organizers.
Spotlight: By the time my contract was over, I had built out the URGE Ohio City Activist Network to 300+ people committed to taking action to achieve reproductive justice.

The Columbus Foundation
Summer Fellow
In this role, I was responsible for mobilizing supporters committed to advocating for reproductive right. I held “Letter To The Editor” writing workshops (you can see my LTE here, led phone banks, managed community canvasses, and recruited patient advocates for our story collection program. With permission, I was able to publish a booket of patient stories that now sits in the lobby of two Columbus Planned Parenthood health centers.
Spotlight: I co-founded the Planned Parenthood Generation Action student group at Ohio State and served as the first Vice President.
As a Summer Fellow, I was competitively placed at Equality Ohio, a non-profit dedicated to advancing LGBTQ+ rights, to assist with non-profit management and advocacy efforts. You see, Ohio doesn’t have statewide anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people, so a huge part of my job was fundraising money for advocacy efforts towards the Ohio Fairness Act.
Spotlight: I was part of a small group of people selected to participate in this fellowship.

Public Affairs Intern
This role focused on mobilizing college students against the Global Gag Rule, a dangerous anti-abortion policy that was reinstated under the Trump Administration. I was responsible for writing press releases, media advisories, and creating graphics to gain local visibility for rallies and marches.
Spotlight: I traveled to D.C. with other activists from Ohio to lobby against the Global Gag Rule! I also wrote this piece with my professor for my college newspaper.
