I'm currently the Executive Coordinator at the Campaign for America's Future, where I'm been since June 2005. Prior to CAF, I worked at various trade associations creating, designing, implementing and tracking recruitment campaigns for new members. I switched careers to work at a non-profit political organization because I was disgusted with the conservative political climate in D.C. (in particular, the White House) and wanted to be part of an advocacy group for change. I grew up believing that America was always the good guy. Perhaps that was naïve, but I always wanted to believe it. I wanted to believe that America would stop the bully, that America would never start a fight, but would certainly end it. I wanted to believe that America stood for something, something that people around the world could look at and admire. That's gone but I'm proud that, here at CAF, we are trying to take our country back—to get others to realize that we are all in this together and together we can be free AND safe while following the principles of our beloved Constitution.
