MEET THE PRINCIPAL
OF TIONCHAR

Yvette Ollada Lavery has a long list of successful political and public affairs initiatives including an unprecedented victory in Massachusetts, where despite the opposition’s 48- point lead when she joined the Massachusetts Against Doctor Prescribed Suicide-No On 2 committee, they emerged with a stunning upset on election day. In 2018, she was named one of the "Top 40 Under 40" political consultants in the country by the American Association of Political Consultants. Some of her clients include the APCO Worldwide, SolarCity, United Way, Los Angeles County Business Federation and the Washington Hospitality Association. Her work has been featured in media publications throughout the US including: Bloomberg, LA Times, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Seattle Times, Boston Globe, and many more. Her academic research has been published by the U.S. Department of Labor, and she is co-founder of the Patients’ Rights Action Fund, a national 501 c(4) non-profit, where she served as the organization’s first Executive Director. Yvette’s ability to repeatedly exceed expected targets and goals; her keen knack for translating complex facts and data into compelling, digestible sound bites; and her ability to develop rapport and maintain strong relationships to build coalitions and secure strategic alliances with people from diverse backgrounds are the hallmarks of her work. Among her numerous community service endeavors, Yvette has served two years in AmeriCorps in children’s health and education programs, and has been recognized by the Orange County Register for her volunteer service with the homeless. She also serves as President of the Board of Director for the Black Card Circle Foundation. Yvette is currently pursuing a Master in Bioethics degree at Harvard Medical School, and holds a Master of Public Affairs degree from Sciences Po-Paris and a BA from the University of Southern California.
