Bio: I graduated from college last May and went straight to New Hampshire to work on the presidential primary for Americans for Healthcare, an issue advocacy group working to make health care reform the top issue for each presidential candidate.

In college, I worked with think tanks, grassroots advocacy groups, and on candidate campaigns at the local and national level. Again and again, I saw how powerful our generation can be when organized.

In New Hampshire, I realized that activism in our generation drops off after college. Most of the people who volunteer are our parents and grandparents. I am excited about Qvisory because I believe it's a chance for young adults to define and take action on a policy agenda that serves our needs.

I currently provide support to Qvisory on educational and policy topics.

  Thanks so much for your comments! At Qvisory, our focus will always be on policy that affects our money, work, and health lives. This limits our ability to tackle every issue we want to. That said, we hear you on the environment! Since all of you mentioned your concerns about the environment, we are adding green jobs to our agenda. Now, we all need to watch the presidential debate (Tuesday, October 7 at 9:00pm ET) to see if Obama and McCain talk about our issues. Thanks again!
