I’m a social practitioner—
I help grow and resource new cultural impulses in and out of Los Angeles
I’m Founder and Principal of Common Light, a consultancy for renewing human agreements. I co-founded the state legislative resource Democracy Policy Network and co-lead the campaign finance reform effort Los Angeles for Democracy Vouchers and the citizens’ assembly project Public Democracy Los Angeles. Previously, I founded the digital studio Ovrture, managed creative campaigns at Bono’s antipoverty advocacy group The ONE Campaign, where I worked on the 2010 and 2011 U2 360° North America Tours, and served on President Obama’s 2012 Campaign.
I’m currently a PhD student in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness at the California Institute of Integral Studies where I’m researching the relationship between society and spirituality. I received a dual MPA/MBA at Harvard Kennedy School of Government and MIT Sloan School of Management. I’m a proud citizen of Cherokee Nation, Board Member of Tsa-La-Gi Los Angeles, and former Los Angeles LGBT Center Health Advisory Board Member.
