About Me

I've been working in Democratic politics for most of my adult life. I started as a press intern on John Kerry's 1996 Senate race in Massachusetts. I was hooked. After the campaign, I worked for the State House News Service in the Massachusetts State House as an Editorial Assistant and occasional reporter.

In 1998 I moved to Washington, D.C. to work media consulting firm Squier Knapp Dunn. At Squier, I advanced film shoots and produced political ads. During the Gore 2000 campaign I also workeed as a researcher and media buyer.

Other projects in Washington include New Democrat Network and the American Chemical Society.

In 2004 I was Communications Director for the Nadeau for Congress campaign and in 2006 I became Jim Pederson's Research Director for his Senate campaign.

I did some public affairs and government relations work for Maricopa Integrated Health System in 2007 and currently I'm working on this unbelievable web site - Polihood.com.
