San Francisco Policy Director with the SF Public Defender’s Office. She has extensive experience fighting for resources and policies to support unhoused communities, systems-impacted folks, the LGBT community, and immigrants. In her current role, she works to harness the power of community organizing and the press to win tangible changes for public defender clients, their families, and communities. Prior to working for the Public Defender, she served at City Hall as Chief of Staff to Supervisor Hillary Ronen and, before that, as a legislative aide for former Supervisor David Campos. In these roles, she championed the drafting of legislation to create Mental Health SF and to initiate and fund San Francisco’s first navigation centers.
