Digital Organizer: Joe Biden for President
August - November 2020
I ran a fully remote, metrics-driven organizing program, meaning I had to be creative with using digital recruitment strategies to the fullest. I hosted virtual events and ran a virtual staging location with the help of dedicated volunteer leaders I recruited and trained. By the election, I had 94 active volunteers in my rural county, reaching 184% to goal.
Field Organizer: Elizabeth Warren for President
June 2019 – March 2020
I became an expert on my turf by learning who would work hard and where I could find them. My most successful strategy was starting a weekly policy trivia night which I used to recruit many of my volunteers; I was able to pass this event onto my intern to help with her training. I built my volunteers into a Get Out the Vote staging location team and 6 precinct teams to win delegates on caucus night.
Chapter Chair / Press Coordinator: OSPIRG
September 2018 - June 2019
I built strategic campaigns based on what policies our student body wanted to see passed. I hired and trained interns and I gained publicity through the use of social media, lobbying, writing press releases for our many large events, and acting as the liaison to the press and influential community members. One of our biggest successes was winning our lead campaign by getting the city of Eugene, OR to ban single-use polystyrene foam cups and takeout containers to protect our oceans.
