I’m a published researcher, experienced senior campaign staffer, strategic communicator, and documentarian.

My goal is to promote equity through compelling advocacy and storytelling — on and offline.


Hello and welcome! Here’s a bit about my work:

I’ve worked on municipal, statewide, and national elections crafting successful and comprehensive digital strategies. I was previously involved in education advocacy for Democrats for Education Reform - Massachusetts and in Constituent Services in the Massachusetts Governor’s Office.

Outside of politics, I’m a nationally and internationally-awarded filmmaker for my two documentaries: Back of the House, which focused on the role of immigrants in the Massachusetts restaurant industry, and Commitment, which traces the history of the national fight for same-sex marriage.

My recent project, Service Beyond Bars, was supported by the University of Chicago’s Divinity School and explored how prison chaplains, the legal community, clergy, and reentry organizations can build a holistic culture of care inside and beyond correctional facilities.

I am currently undertaking my J.D. at Yale Law school and hold an MPhil in Religious Studies from the Faculty of Divinity at the University of Cambridge with a Gates-Cambridge Scholarship. I am a 2023 graduate of Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, where I undertook a two-year ethnographic study of prison and jail chaplaincy.
