Advocating for solutions is not enough; we must fairly and effectively implement life-saving, violence-preventing, and harm-reducing approaches in and with our communities.
Working Collaboratively with Organizations & Communities
I work at the state and national levels on drafting policies and procedures, providing training relevant to a wide range of professionals working with families and in various systems and organizations, and consulting on robust, fair, and equitable implementation of promising practices. I, along with my colleagues, can work with your organization or community to develop tailored resources including policies, guidelines, curricula, training events, convenings, and more. Our work focuses largely on firearms violence prevention (addressing homicide, suicide, community violence, unintentional, and state-involved shootings), intimate partner violence intervention & prevention, reducing risk in family law and child custody matters, and ways to most effectively, and fairly, implement promising practices fairly and equitably.
Examples include:
- Implementation Toolkit for Gun Safety Laws Julia developed while working at Giffords
- This chart I produced to help professionals and the public distinguish between the various civil firearm-prohibiting remedies available in California
- Endinggv.org, a resource guide for those working in the domestic violence space to help address the intersection of domestic violence and firearms that I worked on as part of a team led by the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence in 2023
My background includes working directly with families to resolve conflict and prevent violence. I build on that experience to craft meaningful policies and procedures that fairly seek to reduce risk and increase safety in creative, updated, and innovative ways.
