Portfolio
My professional and academic experiences have equipped me with the skillset needed to confidently manage the operations of a rapidly growing nonprofit organization.
Below are examples of my work in operations, advocacy, and content creation.
Non-profit Management
Director of Operations
Drew Amstutz is the Director of Operations at Red Wine & Blue: a community of half a million suburban women who use friend-to-friend organizing and digital media to combat extremism in some of the most consequential suburbs in America
Drew joined Red Wine & Blue in the fall of 2021 and has helped the organization grow nationally to now employ nearly 50 full-time suburban women "Troublemakers" across the country.
He sits on RWB's Leadership Team and is responsible for steering the organization's cross-department collaboration and daily operations.
One of my first projects after being hired on full time at RWB was to create a resource for our women to find book bans happening in their area.
I developed an interactive map that was even featured on MSNBC.

Teacher Advocacy
Teacher Advocacy
I grew up spending my summers helping my mom in her kindergarten classroom, Room 114. I remember her staying late after school finishing up loose ends and spending every night literally burning the midnight oil until 1 or 2 a.m.
28 years later, my mom still teaches in this classroom, and she pours just as much of her heart and soul into the students as she did on her first day of teaching.
My mom and other public school teachers like her are my inspiration for this work. Supporting them and the invaluable role that they fill is the reason I got into political work.
During my undergraduate studies, I had the incredible opportunity to interview Dr. Susan B. Neuman, a Bush-era U.S. Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education.
My research considered the complexities of implementing USDOE policy and curriculum across state and local jurisdictions, with a particular examination of these challenges through a case study on the failed implementation of The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
I also conducted a policy briefing on the DC Public School's IMPACT evaluation system. I found that the program drove a wedge between teacher and administration relations, causing a lowered rate of teacher retention.

Content Creation
Content Creation
One of my passions is helping others express their political power through creative content. I've mastered many multimedia platforms over the last few years, and have built up a portfolio of numerous creative content pieces that I am proud to share.
In addition to my graphic design skillset, I have a knack for capturing moments that tell a powerful story of who we are as a people.
The photos used throughout this digital portfolio are examples of my creative skills.
