Hi, I'm Kaleigh

From the moment I decided to pursue journalism in college, I knew that I wanted to point my career toward public service. I’ve always been driven by finding a way to use my skills and expertise to address societal challenges and serve my community. That mission has taken me from my hometown newspaper, to mentoring local entrepreneurs, to trying and failing to launch a design cooperative, to most recently, the halls of the White House.

I’ve done a lot of different things over the course of my career, but what I love most is what I’ve always loved: Untangling big messy problems and understanding what makes complex systems and people tick. Most recently I’ve used those skills as a designer in the federal government helping build better services for the public. But I’ve also used them as a marketer, an early-stage startup employee, and a teacher. I’ve worn a lot of hats. I like it that way.
