Introducing myself and the #PSWeLoveYou campaign

Hello to the group and thank you to

for inviting me to this incredible space!

I am a communications and marketing strategist based in Portland, OR in the very early stages of building a consulting business, Amplify Impact Marketing. Prior to setting out on this new venture, I spent 8 years working in communications, development, and marketing in the education sector, most recently as a Senior Marketing Manager at Corwin Press overseeing their line of books focused on advancing equity and justice in schools and supporting BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, and multilingual students. Through Amplify Impact Marketing, I'm interested in working with authors in the education justice space, nonprofits focused on advancing justice and equity, and B-Corps or other mission-driven companies serving communities under threat from this administration. I am also a published novelist and essayist with a volunteer project--Amplify Writers--focused on supporting the career development of writers with identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences that are under-represented in the publishing eco-system.

My first campaign with Amplify Impact is an all-volunteer effort to oppose proposed changes to Medicare and Medicaid funding that threatens minors' access to gender-affirming care. Our campaign--#PSWeLoveYou--encourages people to leave a comment in opposition on the federal register and include a PS note directly in support of trans kids. My team will be pulling these comments and publishing them as an ongoing show of community love for 2SLGBTQIA+ kids. We are also publishing educational graphics about what gender-affirming care is alongside blog posts and podcast interviews from impacted community.
