The Resume

    Resides in Washington, D.C.
    Became known as ‘Potato Boss’ on Twitter
    Political director at People For The American Way

Why she might be annoying:

    She has a Twitter profile.
    She was using a teleconferencing software for both work and for ‘happy hour’ meetings (with voters her organization works with).
    She downloaded filters for the Happy Hour crowd on a Friday night (March 27, 2020) failing to switch out for the meeting with her coworkers the following Monday (March 30, 2020).
    Realizing she became a potato for her coworker meeting, she tried remove the filter but was unable to.
    She eventually gave up and stayed looking like a potato for the remainder of the meeting.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She gave her colleagues a huge laugh!
    The story of this incident hit mainstream news waves on April 1st!
    Her coworker Rachele Clegg took a picture of the meeting and tweeted it.
    The tweet received nearly 950,000 ‘Likes’ and 4,500 retweets as of April 5, 2020.
    She and her colleagues were following Spring 2020 national social distancing guidelines (to prevent the spreading of the COVID-19 virus) by working at home and teleconferencing.
    She works at an organization that is dedicated to encouraging Latin community members to vote: ‘As a progressive organization, we fight for justice for all and access to opportunities, and in the last three-plus years, it’s been a little tough.’
    She turned the incident around to tweet the PSA ‘Stay planted at home and safe!’
