@jaimea
Aspiring public policy professional with a focus on health policy.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated public policy and management graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in health policy. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of the intersection between policy, management, and healthcare systems. I have honed my analytical skills through rigorous coursework in statistical reasoning and healthcare information systems, which I apply in my professional roles.
Currently, I serve as a Research & Policy Assistant at Ashoka, where I support the Get America Working Project by analyzing economic data and conducting literature reviews on critical policy issues. My previous experience as a CRM & Grants Coordinator at the Inner City Education Foundation allowed me to develop an invoicing system that improved financial efficiency and manage over $2 million in grants. I am passionate about leveraging data to inform policy decisions and improve community outcomes.
