What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my research and communication skills in a collaborative environment focused on impactful policy work.

I am a dedicated policy analyst and research consultant with a strong background in translating complex topics and data into accessible communications for the public. My experience includes working with various organizations, including the EPA and Novogradac, where I honed my skills in policy analysis and advocacy. I am particularly proficient in data visualization using tools like Excel and Power BI, which allows me to present data in a compelling and understandable manner.

Throughout my career, I have engaged in extensive research and writing, producing content that simplifies intricate legislative issues for non-technical audiences. My role as a Pro Bono Consultant for The Climate Reality Project and Anacostia River Keepers has further enriched my understanding of environmental policies and community engagement. I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to meaningful projects that aim to improve public understanding and policy outcomes.
