Prior Governmental Experience: Multnomah Education Service District (MESD) Board of Directors Vice-Chair (incoming Chair post-election), Oregon School Board Association (OSBA)  Director (year 3), OSBA LGBTQIA2S+ advisory committee leader.

I have spent the last fifteen years focused on clinical care, patient advocacy, public health, emergency response and health education, reducing barriers to healthcare on the West Coast. 

The last two years I have driven around rural Oregon providing mobile COVID-19 vaccination clinics and offer emergency response to our communities.
