PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Passionate problem solver and tech expert with a knack for troubleshooting and system management. Beyond tech, I lead impactful community initiatives. As Lead Parent Organizer at Our Schools San Antonio, I crafted websites, spearheaded email campaigns, and empowered parents for positive change. In housing justice with the Texas Organizing Project, I formed tenants' unions, contributed to the Tenants Bill of Rights, and drove the Proactive Apartment Inspections Program. Beyond campaigns, I rally against school closures, organize parents, and actively engage in city-wide initiatives. As a black queer single father, I merge technical prowess with a heartfelt commitment to building resilient communities that thrive through positive social change
