Advocacy

A longtime advocate for hunger and education, I am committed to raising awareness of need and encouraging action on the part of consumers and business. For the Eat Local Buy California Grown Day campaign, highlighted the positive economic impact of eating local food exclusively just one day per week. This included passing ACR-42, the Eat Local Buy California Grown Resolution, as well as a media relations and event campaign. A truth in labeling campaign in which I was involved raised awareness of the issue to encourage new natural labeling guidelines. This effort included a statewide event marketing program, online petition, education and communication program. As a youth mental health advocate, I spend time volunteering at schools (when in session) as a Valley Humane Association Canine Comfort team with my pup Murphy.
