For me, every Monday begins with a 4000 yard swim as the excitement of a morning swim and energy of a professional athlete drives me to perform my best in the classroom, office, and beyond. Whether it be aiding constituents with casework and writing foreign policy memos for members of Congress, leading the charge for passing policy and surpassing fundraising goals while recruiting a commencement speaker for student government, briefing city governments on national art projects, winning national-level debate tournaments, or setting conference records and placing at NCAAs in the pool, I undoubtedly make a splash in any arena I enter.With a background in political science, including research and international experience, I have developed effective leadership, communication, and teamwork abilities that I look forward to applying in my future pursuits. Additionally, I create media on YouTube, love connecting with people, and am familiar with academic research. As I dive into a career, my desire to grow in knowledge and understanding leads me to pursue government and foreign policy—both in the classroom and professionally.
