Summary
As a college campus organizer, I have been trained as both a canvasser and union organizer, and have had hundreds of 6-step union organizing conversations. I am a leader in the Occidental organizing space, and place huge importance on developing leadership among my less experienced peers. I also have a variety of work experience, with my job as a Media Director allowing me to hone my Final Cut Pro and social media managing skills, and my Barista Shift Supervisor experience complementing my labor organizing through collaborating with coworkers. I am known for infusing vibrant energy, a calm demeanor, and friendliness into the spaces I enter.
