There, she single-handedly coordinated small and large-scale coalitions throughout the progressive space, provided logistical and on-the-ground support to the Executive Office at NARAL’s 50th Anniversary legacy event, and served as a liaison between the executive team and external allies. Prior to that she served as the scheduling intern for the office of Barack and Michelle Obama. There, she served as an intern for both offices assisting Mrs. Obama’s team with the launch of her Becoming book tour and assisting President Obama’s office with day-to-day operations. She is a former Voto Latino fellow, where she helped manage the executive office as an operations intern, helped strategize the #EndFamilyDetention rally in Texas, and coordinated their annual Power Summit.
