EXPERIENCE
I spent 5 years working as a product designer and made my exit when I saw the AI bubble grow; that's when I figured it was time to join organizers fighting for a just Lithium Valley. I'm currently leading communications strategy at IVEJ, a non-profit with headquarters 3 blocks away from the US-Mexico border. My job is to help community better understand what we do and why we do it.
