What I'm looking for

I seek a role using data and research to shape policy and community programs, with collaborative teams committed to measurable public impact and opportunities for professional growth.

I am a data-driven policy analyst with hands-on experience translating public health research and demographic data into clear, actionable recommendations for policymakers and community stakeholders.

My background includes producing policy memos for congressional offices, analyzing Census, BLS, and FCC datasets, and visualizing trends with Tableau and Excel to inform local and county-level decisions.

I also have practical experience in community engagement—registering voters, designing digital outreach, leading webinars and media interviews, and providing testimony on redistricting—demonstrating my commitment to civic participation and evidence-based policy.
