Some favorite Things I’ve worked on over the years

Apiary for Practical Support

In late 2019, I started working with the former Executive Director of the Brigid Alliance to create a space for organization providing logistical and travel support to abortion seekers. A few months later we were joined by the Executive Director of the Midwest Access Coalition and began planning. In 2021 I was joined by a co-lead and we received our first funding by late that year. By the end of 2023, Apiary was a seven person team with a $1.3m budget

Ta Coalition

One of my favorite projects at Apiary was our Technical Assistance Coalition, a monthly call of over a dozen contributors sharing strategies and questions. We prioritized transparency, confidentiality, and active collaboration.

T1International

Over the course of 14 months, I worked with the team at T1International to build out their US operations. We created the operations, HR and compliance systems needed, and hired and onboarded a team of six.

Abortion Mobilization Project

In 2024, the team at Apiary began collaborating with Shout Your Abortion, Plan C Pills and ineedana.com to create a centralized volunteer mobilization site that can be a one-stop-shop for opportunities and educational tools across the movement.

The Brigid Alliance

Shortly after it’s launch, I worked with the Brigid Alliance team to create operations and programmatic systems. Together we created their employee handbook, expanded and refined their program manual that allowed direct service staff to more effectively do their job, and created data management systems for a quickly growing client base.

S.H.A.R.E Database

In March 2020, the pandemic caused mass chaos in the abortion access world, with clinics and support services opening and closing and shifting on a daily, if not hourly basis. In collaboration with folks from the Midwest Access Coalition, Digital Defense Fund, and Patient Forward we launched a short-term database that tracked the current status of all clinic and support services so that community members could get real-time information for their clients.
