-Lead legislative and administrative advocacy to eliminate barriers to healthcare and insurance coverage.
-Create advocacy tools based on actuarial and utilization data to support the case for removing trans-specific exclusions from public and private insurance.
-Provide advocacy training to health providers and consumers throughout the state to increase public will and advocacy for transgender-inclusive services and insurance coverage on the local, state and national levels.
-Organize and present "elimination of bias" and insurance/healthcare advocacy trainings for healthcare providers, insurers and community members throughout California.
-Manage current relationships and create new partnerships with health and health advocacy organizations.
-Develop/coordinate ongoing messaging and communications regarding healthcare and insurance coverage.

-Ability to work without close supervision on both assigned and self-initiated tasks.
-Excellent communication skills, including the ability to write clearly, speak in public and facilitate large and small meetings. Demonstrated experience tailoring messages to different types of audiences is also necessary.
