As GLSEN's Information & Technology Manager I work to support the organizations staff by creating technology plans and budgets, network management, staff trainings, email and listserv management and user setup, among other things. Additionally I am currently co-leading two major organizational strategies to build an organization-wide database for user involvement and a major funding proposal for organization-wide technology purchases and upgrades.
I manage our relationships with all technology vendors and an outsourced technology support company. In addition, I manage the Operations Assistant position, whose time is split working with me and our HR staff.

As GLSEN's Student Information Systems & Technology Manager I supported all student organizing technology needs, student support email accounts and websites, including the official Day of Silence website, www.dayofsilence.org. I also led the effort to build the organization's first comprehensive user-driven and web-hosted database, http://www.studentorganizing.org.

Creating a Student Organizing department and staff to handle the increased work the previous 2 years had created, I led the Day of Silence project in it's first two years with GLSEN--in addition to having conceived and developed it's transfer to GLSEN. Previously having had participants at less than 300 high schools, we created GLSEN's first-ever student leadership team and together led the Day of Silence's national outreach effort, resource/material creation and support for an estimated 100,000 student participants in nearly 2,000 middle & high schools across the country.
We worked with Representative Eliot Engel to introduce the first-ever Day of Silence resolution in Congress and achieved 29 co-signers. We also received state proclamations from Governor Gray Davis of California and Governor Jennifer M. Granholm of Michigan, as well as a New York City Council Resolution.
