Introduction

I believe what distinguishes me from other lobbyists is I actually do the work. I make the calls, attend meetings, write briefing documents and white papers as needed. I also do not assign my work to staff. If you hire me, you get me. Also, a diverse consultant team is important now more than ever with both Houses of the State Legislature led by a Black woman and a Black man, respectively. I also make a point to really understand the issues you care about, so that when the client can't be there, I am the next best thing.
