PUTTING A PORTFOLIO CAREER TO PUBLIC USE...
Since 2018, I’ve increasingly turned my experience toward civic life and public service in San Francisco, working with the Fire Department, Department of Elections, Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, National Park Service and Presidio Trust.
Today I’m especially interested in neighborhood readiness, civic participation and the systems that connect people to public institutions. I’m aiming to spend the next chapter of my employment career in civil service.
