What I'm looking for

I am seeking policy-focused roles where I can apply research and outreach skills, engage with technology policy, support stakeholder communications, and grow into leadership in program management.

I am a Master of Public Policy candidate concentrating in Technology Policy with hands-on legislative and university experience. I conduct policy research, support admissions and outreach, and manage marketing and social media for academic programs.

My professional background includes internships in New Jersey legislative offices where I researched state legislation, supported constituent communications, and assisted with district events. I also serve in client-facing wellness and customer-scheduling roles, demonstrating strong communication and operational skills.

A former collegiate sprinter and hurdler, I bring discipline, leadership, and teamwork from athletics to my professional life, complemented by technical skills in RStudio and Stata and working proficiency in Spanish.
