United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a strategic government relations and public affairs professional with a Master's in Applied American Politics and a proven record in legislative analysis, stakeholder engagement, and enterprise-level business development. I combine policy expertise with practical business development skills to advance organizational priorities at the public–private intersection.
In recent roles I generated a $3.2M+ pipeline by aligning sustainability projects with regulatory and compliance frameworks, cultivated relationships with 40+ executives and regulatory leaders, and increased quarterly revenue by 22% through contractor and municipal partnerships. I consistently deliver measurable results—earning Top New Business Developer (Q3 2024) and recognition for excellence in public-sector outreach.
I bring experience across sustainability strategy, corporate partnerships, CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce), and community engagement, and I seek opportunities where I can drive policy-forward business growth and build high-impact stakeholder coalitions.
