  As the Senior Program Associate for Generation Citizen, I supported the implementation of our action civics education program and curriculum with our Central Texas school partners. I worked to recruit and train teachers on our curriculum and provided support throughout the semester via coaching sessions. I worked to build civic communities within the areas we worked in, building and fostering relationships with donors, elected officials, and other community members to best expand our footprint and provide a network for students to contact. I supported the implementation of our program across schools in Austin Independent School District, Bastrop Independent School District, and Elgin Independent School District. I worked on expanding our program footprint to new schools in new districts across the state of Texas. I also supported our program in other sites like Oklahoma and New York, managing a small caseload of teachers in each state. I supported our Advocacy and Policy efforts during the 87th legislative session as well as during the first called Special Session in Texas, to try and pass comprehensive civic education policy.
