Bio:

I am a web site builder, nonprofit technologist, and online organizer who has worked in progressive advocacy organizations and online communities for over two decades. I created the first website for the North Carolina Justice Center, was the first online field organizer at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, consulted on network-centric organizing strategies for Greenpeace International and the American Civil Liberties Union, and led the development and management of one of the most active Drupal Commons communities in the world at HASTAC.

I am Acquia-certified in Drupal Site Building. I currently work as the Web Developer & Senior Technologist for MomsRising.org. I was a founding member of the Drupal Diversity & Inclusion leadership team.

Drupal Contributions:

I was a member of the DrupalCon 2020 Program Committee on the site building track. I have created and spoken at many presentations about diversity and inclusion in Drupal from 2017 to 2021. I gave a solo lightning talk about listening to site builders at DrupalCon Global in 2021.

I have been a Drupal evangelist since 2005, especially in the nonprofit sector. I help organize the community of Drupal users that work at or with nonprofit organizations as a member of NTEN's Drupal Community of Practice. I was an active participant in TriDUG (the Triangle Drupal Users Group). I was a founding member of the Drupal Diversity & Inclusion Leadership Team from 2016-2018, and served as an advisor from 2018-2021.
