I'm a latte-drinking, bike-riding, New York Times-reading, taco-loving, social justice do-gooder freak show originally from North Carolina. I have been an advocate and organizer with immigrants and refugees in Charlotte, New York/Newark, and Los Angeles, as well as in Zimbabwe and Great Britain, for organizations such as Catholic Charities, American Friends Service Committee, Jesuit Refugee Service, Homies Unidos and the National Immigration Law Center. I have an undergraduate degree in history and international relations from Wake Forest University, a master's in public administration from Columbia University and a postgraduate certificate in forced migration studies from the Refugee Studies Centre at the University of Oxford. Through Aquifer Media, I currently assist nonprofit organizations, foundations and community groups utilize digital social media in their strategies for community-building, advocacy and leadership development.
