I began my career as a community organizer in Baltimore. Through organizing, I learned the power of collective action and the importance of cultivating personal relationships within a movement, a skill I use in my work every day. My conversations with working families across the state taught me that quality jobs, which pay living wages, can change communities. 

​

 

I took my organizing skills to politics, where I worked in campaign management up and down the ballot. In every campaign, win or lose, we created a movement that brought together people of all backgrounds and made our community stronger. I served with campaigns and candidates to promote a better, more inclusive Maryland that helped put our neighbors first, both in Annapolis and in DC.

 

As your advocate in Annapolis, I have worked tirelessly to focus on the issues important to everyday Marylanders that have been left behind too often. I have sponsored and supported legislation that would bring an end to the War on Drugs, tackle the systemic inequities in our prison system, and support new opportunities for young people looking towards a brighter future and working families looking to get by.
