Bridging Science, Strategy, and Systemic Change

I build the infrastructure that allows complex data to transform into actionable public policy. As a government relations strategist, analyst, and the founder of Policy TakeOver, I have spent over a decade helping corporations, nonprofits, and growing businesses amplify their community impact and successfully navigate complex political and regulatory landscapes. 

My unique approach combines rigorous, data-driven methodology with hands-on legislative execution. Whether I am guiding an organization through the intricacies of federal rulemaking or designing proprietary virtual toolkits to lower the cost barriers of civic engagement, my focus remains the same: ensuring your mission is heard clearly by lawmakers.

 

My Journey: From the Lab to the Capitol

My career is anchored at the intersection of data integrity and systemic advocacy.

12+ Years in Advocacy  | 8 Years Clinical Lab Experience | 1000s of Public Comments Synthesized

Advocacy Consulting & Systems Innovation (12+ Years)


As the founder of Policy TakeOver, I built an agency dedicated to improving, involving, and educating communities in legislative strategy. We disrupt traditional, high-cost government relations structures by delivering highly accessible bill tracking, custom-designed Advocacy Day applications, and strategic grassroots frameworks.

Federal Public Comment Expertise (8 Years)


Serving as a trusted advisor to key prime federal contractors and leading multi-analyst teams, I specialize in analyzing large-scale public feedback datasets. I master the taxonomy structures and synthesis methods needed to transform thousands of loose public perspectives into authoritative master filings for federal rulemakings—ensuring your collective voice bypasses standard administrative filters.

Advanced Clinical Data & Health Policy Foundations (8 Years)


Before shifting full-time into public affairs, I served as a Senior Cytogenetic Technologist. Analyzing complex chromosomal datasets under strict medical regulatory standards developed my clinical precision and rigorous data discipline. Today, I leverage this scientific background to effortlessly digest highly technical industry data, spot hidden regulatory risks, and translate complex health policy into winning legislative strategies for my clients.
