Willow Paul
Marketing & Communications Manager

Meet Willow Paul, a dedicated advocate for fostering nonpartisan political dialogue and encouraging active political engagement. With a strong background in public deliberation and participatory democracy, she brings a wealth of expertise to uplift the healthy self-governance movement and spread awareness to the public.

Willow spent most of her academic journey at Colorado State University, where she earned her B.A. in Communication Studies, specializing in Political Communication, and later achieved her M.A. in Communication Studies, focusing on Deliberative Practice. Her thesis work delved into affective polarization, depolarization, and cross-party dialogue, cementing for her the importance of remaining politically nonpartisan in her endeavors. 

Her previous work involved collaborating with non-governmental organizations, local government, and fellow practitioners to design, lead, and facilitate nonpartisan dialogic events both in her community and online. These experiences have deepened her dedication to fostering respectful, curious, and collaborative cross-party dialogue.

Willow Paul is on a mission to promote the Bridge Alliance’s efforts to transcend political divides and create a more engaged and united America.
