Hillary for America - Pennsylvania - Deputy Digital Director
Every four years, my parents let me stay up late with them to watch “the maps” on CNN. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t enthralled with politics. My mom recalls my construction paper campaign signs posted to our windows and looking outside to see my brother and I chanting, “Go Gore, Trim that Bush.”
Hillary Clinton has always been my hero: She’s strong in her convictions, empathetic, ambitious, incredibly intelligent. I wanted to be her, and naturally, I wanted to join her campaign to elect her as first woman president.
In June 2016, I joined the Hillary for America campaign as Deputy Digital Director for Pennsylvania. Upon arriving in my new city of Philadelphia, now one of my favorites, I was thrown into a whirlwind of coalition building, the DNC convention, project management, organizing, rallies and campaign events, storytelling and occasionally, driving around incredible changemakers.
