Chief Strategy Officer

• 2013 - Present

Running Start is a nonpartisan nonprofit that trains young women to run for political office. In the past 13 years, Running Start has given 12,500+ young women the skills and inspiration they need to run and win. I spearhead the training of 2,500+ diverse 15 – 25 year old young women at 100+ trainings around the country each year, with the help of 500+ speakers, trainers, and mentors. I've personally trained young women at 30+ colleges, in 15+ states, and in Jamaica, Mexico, Sierra Leone and Tunisia (at the invitation of the UNDP and State Department). Each year, I place fellows with Congresswomen. So far, 99 fellows have been placed with more than half of the women in Congress. In addition to leading trainings, I speak almost weekly to outside groups about the importance of getting more women elected. And, I lead a fundraiser that is the most widely supported annual event by the women in Congress, with 90%+ of Congresswomen on its host committee. After receiving criticism about my appearance during a training I was facilitating, I created #ILookLikeAPolitician to inspire young women to think of themselves a political leaders and run in spite of sexist media coverage of women in politics. It's received millions of impressions. Show less
