What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my policy research, grant administration, program coordination, and community-engagement experience to work that improves access to public services and supports local residents.

I've coordinated grant-funded neighborhood initiatives for the City of Rochester, managing project records, budgets, reimbursements, deadlines, site visits, and public-facing materials from planning through closeout.

I also researched and collected data for a City of Rochester report on homelessness, prepared policy briefs and legislative summaries, and translated complex government policies into clear guidance for community organizations. My background in Criminal Justice, Political Science, and Forensic Science supports my work in research, policy analysis, documentation, and community engagement.
