Advocacy
I work to facilitate policy change and civic engagement for ocean conservation campaigns in Hawaiʻi, federally, and internationally.
Advocacy approach
-
I support the development of community-based coalitions around an issue, consult on effective strategies to advance the measure, and lead helpful community events.
-
I directly testify, train, or join alongside lobbying groups to educate lawmakers on environmental policies.
-
I work with partners to amplify policy-centric campaigns to my online community, driving calls to action to progress the initiative.
