What I'm looking for
I am a Political Science and International Relations student at the University of Nevada, Reno, with hands-on experience in public affairs, political campaigning, and social media communications. I have created content for brands, managed social media for a local business, and supported public affairs work through research, message development, and media monitoring.
I combine voter engagement and advocacy experience with customer-facing roles to communicate clearly and build relationships. I am eager to apply my storytelling, editing, and public-speaking skills in entry-level roles where I can learn from mentors and contribute to campaigns, communications teams, or public affairs initiatives.
