HQ Happenings | November 2021
I’m so excited to serve as your PCDP Director! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.
I was born and raised in Phoenix, and graduated from the UA (Bear Down!) in 2018 with a double major in Spanish and Political Science. Almost immediately, the statewide coordinated campaign recruited me as an organizer, and I relocated to Flagstaff. We knocked on doors, made calls, and recruited volunteers day and night to make sure that Democrats were elected up and down the ballot in the 2018 midterms.
