I am a recent MPP graduate passionate about leveraging data-driven insights to improve public services and social outcomes. I have experience conducting comprehensive policy research, analyzing complex legislation, and communicating findings to diverse stakeholders.At the University of Virginia's Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, I honed my skills in quantitative and qualitative analysis, focusing on issues at the intersection of criminal justice, mental health, and social services. My applied policy work with the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services demonstrated my ability to tackle complex challenges, such as improving data sharing across state agencies to enhance care for individuals with serious mental illness in the criminal justice system.I excel at synthesizing large amounts of information into clear, actionable recommendations. Whether crafting detailed policy memos, presenting to unfamiliar audiences, or creating two-page briefs for public consumption, I am able to tailor my communication to the needs of various stakeholders.I am driven by a commitment to making essential services more accessible and effective for those who need them most, and I aim to contribute my analytical skills and passion for public service to organizations dedicated to evidence-based policy making and social impact.
