Political Science and Climate Science major passionate about public service.
What I'm looking for
As a Political Science and Climate Science & Solutions major at Yale University, I am deeply committed to public service and policy analysis. My academic focus on American foreign and environmental policy has equipped me with the skills to synthesize complex information into actionable insights. With a GPA of 3.78, I have honed my analytical abilities through various experiences, including political campaigns and strategic communications.
Currently, I serve as the Inventory/Procurement Manager at Acorn Bakery, where I manage supplies and optimize spending to ensure a consistent production flow. My role involves fostering collaboration within the baking community and maintaining clear communication between bakers and management. Additionally, I have gained valuable experience as a Campaign Voter Outreach Intern, where I spearheaded voter engagement efforts and trained phone banking teams to enhance campaign performance.
My diverse experiences, from coordinating social media for Congressperson Jahana Hayes to authoring articles for the Yale Free Press, have strengthened my communication skills and ability to engage with various stakeholders. I am eager to leverage my background in political science and my passion for public service to contribute meaningfully to policy initiatives and community engagement efforts.
