Before joining NHeLP, Cassandra held several positions promoting public health at organizations such as Reproductive Equity Now, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, All Voting is Local, and Brady United Against Gun Violence. She has worked on a range of issues including reproductive rights and justice, gun violence prevention, voting rights, and pandemic health equity.
