What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to contribute to meaningful research and policy development, ideally in a collaborative environment that values diverse perspectives and promotes economic literacy.

I am a dedicated profile writer and researcher with a proven track record at The Economic Transcript, where I specialize in policy writing and analysis. My work focuses on producing impactful content that engages youth in economic literacy while fostering a collaborative environment. I am skilled in analytical thinking and committed to amplifying marginalized voices through well-researched articles.

Currently, I am gaining valuable experience as a Writer & Research Intern at The Economic Transcript, where I contribute opinion columns and policy explainers on critical topics such as economic justice and labor reforms. My research internships have allowed me to explore significant issues, including the implications of educational diplomacy and the gig economy's impact on labor systems. I have presented my findings at various international conferences, showcasing my commitment to addressing pressing global challenges.
