What I'm looking for

I seek policy-focused research roles that value rigorous methods, clear communication, collaborative teams, and opportunities to translate evidence into actionable public policy.

I am a policy researcher with hands-on experience conducting quantitative and qualitative research, designing surveys, and producing actionable policy recommendations. I co-authored an options memo on U.S.–China relations and presented findings to officials and experts in Washington, D.C., demonstrating my ability to translate research into policy-ready deliverables.

My research experience at a public opinion lab includes SPSS analysis, survey design, data cleaning, and participant interviews, supporting program and policy evaluation with rigorous methods. I have supported large classes as a teaching assistant, delivering clear explanations of complex political and administrative concepts and providing consistent, accurate grading and feedback.

I work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams to ensure feasibility, clarity, and policy relevance, and I bring strong communication, organization, and time-management skills to roles that require both technical rigor and practical implementation support.
