Bernie Sanders for President

As National Advance Manager I designed and managed the production of dozens of the largest high-profile rallies of the 2016 and 2020 presidential campaign.


I served as a National Advance Manager for Bernie Sanders' 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns. I specialized in site design for large-scale rallies. I designed and produced some of the campaign’s most significant events including a 26,000-person rally at Queensbridge Park in New York and the largest event ever held on Venice Beach.


My responsibilities included site scouting and selection across diverse venues nationwide, from union halls and high school gyms to arenas, convention centers, municipal parks, and national landmarks. Used advanced 3D modeling skills to create detailed visualizations, facilitating clear communication with police, fire regulators, private and government security bodies, venue managers, communications teams, and schedulers.


I prioritized crowd safety, and design with a deep commitment to accessibility, adhering to ADA guidelines and protocols as well as embracing broader principles of inclusion.


I spearheaded the design and production of over 60 high-impact events nationwide for Bernie Sanders' presidential campaigns. I Managed tight timelines and executed events with crowd sizes of up to 30,000 people, showcasing the ability to handle high-stakes and time-sensitive projects effectively. I utilize CAD design to create precise models and renderings in order to communicate clearly with cross-functional teams, including comms, operations, production, security, and regulators to ensure alignment with creative vision and project goals.
