What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity to apply sustainable-development research, policy communication, and stakeholder coordination to practical environmental and governance challenges.

I'm completing an MSc in Global Sustainable Development at the University of St. Andrews, researching why AI policy in the EU and US fails sustainable development. My coursework includes sustainability communication, environmental and coastal management, and sustainable development in practice.

At Ekko Title, I opened 70+ real estate acquisition and contract-review cases, with 96% progressing to closing, while coordinating with attorneys and clients. I've also co-authored bills, lobbied Virginia representatives and senators, and helped lead a first-ranked club football team.
