What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining policy research and strategic communications where I can scale programs, produce evidence-based analysis, and lead outreach to drive measurable impact.

I am a policy researcher and communications specialist with hands-on experience in legislative research, program expansion, and strategic communications. I have produced comparative analyses of parliamentary functioning, researched bills and laws, and maintained knowledge management systems to support evidence-based policymaking.

I grew outreach programs and digital presence—expanding a student parliament program by 40% to 140 schools, managing a social account with 345K followers, and redesigning organizational LinkedIn to double followers. I combine content design (Adobe InDesign) and data management to create reports, infographics, and stakeholder-facing materials.

I have worked across government-facing initiatives, international organizations, and youth-led ventures—implementing catalog improvements for national programs, contributing to a UN-selected climate proposal, and founding a global literary platform that reached 30,000 readers. I am driven to apply research, communications, and project leadership skills to advance policy impact and program scale.
