In My Own Words
I am a graduate of The Ohio State University, with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, and a specialization in International Relations. I also hold a double minor in Environmental Science and International Development.
I have a strong interest in engaging in international politics, and have expressed this interest within The Ohio State University's UNICEF and Amnesty International chapters.
I am also very interested in and involved with local politics that affect the day to day lives of those around me. I have worked to utilize my talents within a number of political action committees. I have also had the opportunity to work as a political consulting intern at Breakthrough Advising LLC. In this role, I have been able to explore my abilities within political financing, social media outreach, and event planning.
I am constantly on the lookout for opportunities that might allow me to utilize my interpersonal and advocacy skills, as well as my in-depth understanding of government relations to better the situations of the people and communities around me.
