As a Policy Intern, I created concept notes and wrote keynote speeches about regenerative agriculture, the funding gap in India, and building climate resilience through innovative financing for the Secretary-General, Satya Tripathi, to use in conferences such as the UN Climate Change Conference and the IX Summit in Haikou. Additionally, I drafted a speech for the First Lady of Kenya on the climate challenge in Africa for her speech at COP27 and wrote blog posts about the global energy crisis… Show more As a Policy Intern, I created concept notes and wrote keynote speeches about regenerative agriculture, the funding gap in India, and building climate resilience through innovative financing for the Secretary-General, Satya Tripathi, to use in conferences such as the UN Climate Change Conference and the IX Summit in Haikou.

As a Policy Intern, I provided policy teams with detailed notes and summaries of state and local measures on the 2022 ballot. Additionally, I wrote a blog post about Proposition 30 to help members understand the proposition and wrote an election wrapup describing the outcomes of the November 2022 election. I also helped the transportation team prepare for their community outreach Climate Chat focused on micro transit and met with San Diego County to advocate making the carbon farming program a… Show more As a Policy Intern, I provided policy teams with detailed notes and summaries of state and local measures on the 2022 ballot.

As a Lab Manager for the CMC Policy Lab, I worked on two extensive research projects. On both projects I synthesized the main ideas and action items from lab meetings in organized notes to send to students. The first project was a continuation of our election law changes research for the American Enterprise Institute. For this project I used STATA to clean and restructure individual-level administrative data containing millions of entries. Over the summer session, I managed a team of three… Show more As a Lab Manager for the CMC Policy Lab, I worked on two extensive research projects. On both projects I synthesized the main ideas and action items from lab meetings in organized notes to send to students. The first project was a continuation of our election law changes research for the American Enterprise Institute. For this project I used STATA to clean and restructure individual-level administrative data containing millions of entries. Over the summer session, I managed a team of three research fellows working on a state election law changes project. I constructed and coded a dataset containing all election law changes from 2011-2021 in all 50 states and wrote a detailed coding protocol. I used STATA to analyze the intercoder validity of our team’s coding of election law changes. I also wrote a memo outlining the work accomplished this summer and how the next group of research fellows can build on what we started. The second project examined transportation equity for the State Smart Transportation Initiative. My co-lab manager and I conducted transportation equity research for the State Smart Transportation Initiative by analyzing responses to the US Department of Transportation’s Request for Information on policies that increase transportation equity. We wrote a comprehensive literature review outlining previous research on transportation equity. We also wrote a detailed memo outlining the best equity practices implemented by State Departments of Transportation. Our memo was just published on the State Smart Transportation Initiative website.

As a Research Fellow for the CMC Policy Lab, we conducted research for the American Enterprise Institute on the relationship between access to voting and voter turnout on an individual level using 2020 emergency election laws as a natural experiment. I facilitated communication with over fifteen county elections offices to obtain individual voting histories and registered voter lists. I managed public records requests as well as twelve large data sets each containing over a million entries.

I facilitated communication with over fifteen county elections offices to obtain individual voting histories and registered voter lists. I managed public records requests as well as twelve large data sets each containing over a million entries. My partner and I used STATA to standardize the variables in each data set because ever county had different variable names and organization. We created a codebook that identified the standardized variables and tracked changes made to original data. I wrote a detailed appendix outlining project goals as well as organized accounts of the information received and how it will be used in our analysis. Show less

My classmate and I created a podcast called "The Future is Female: Women in International Relations" about female global leadership where we interview experts about female leaders, female representation in government, women in conflict resolution, and gender equality.

I was a research assistant for Professor Shanna Rose while she conducted research for her upcoming book on minimum wage legislation. My research focused specifically on state legislative activity in response to federal inaction. I worked collecting data, writing literature reviews, and summarizing federal legislation patterns. This experience was extremely influential and I gained a great understanding of what goes into academic research.
