About Me

I am a rising senior at Rhodes College studying Political Science and International Studies, with a deep-rooted passion for government, public service, and legislative advocacy. Through internships with congressional campaigns, nonprofit advocacy groups, and legal offices, I’ve developed strong skills in policy research, legislative tracking, persuasive writing, and stakeholder communication. I thrive in fast-paced, mission-driven environments where collaboration and clarity are key. Whether summarizing complex legislation, drafting memos, or meeting with elected officials and community leaders, I bring professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to bipartisan problem-solving. My long-term goal is to work in the legislative or policy space—whether on Capitol Hill, in a federal agency, or with a public interest organization—advancing policies that expand access, equity, and opportunity.
