I'm a St. Louis native who just graduated from Syracuse University where I earned a degree in Policy Studies from the Maxwell School of Citizenship with minors in Economics and Entrepreneurship. I am now back home in Kirkwood and ready to make a positive change. My interests include social change, public policy, economics, and education. I am adept with social media but understand the importance of a personal connection. I have held internships at nonprofits, a professional sports team, a privately held manufacturing firm, and a public benefit corporation where I have gained expertise in marketing, brand management, and survey and database analysis. I have studied in both Washington D.C. and Hong Kong and have found a way to connect many aspects of life back to politics. This includes essay work on "Star Wars and Politics" which will be published in an anthology later this month.
