Hello LinkedIn community,I am a highly motivated and results-driven professional with a strong background in public policy and research. As a recent graduate from Howard University with a B.A. in Economics, I am eager to leverage my skills and experience to make a meaningful impact.During my time as an intern at the American Federation of Teachers, I conducted research and analysis related to student debt relief, collective bargaining laws and contracts in higher education and public institutions, and state legislative and fiscal analysis. I also analyzed enrollment trends and school district allocation of federal funds, and composed detailed memos and presentations.As a Poverty Studies Intern at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, I retrieved and analyzed data on federal safety-net programs, monitored priority Congressional hearings, and distributed detailed memos on topics related to economic mobility, cash welfare, unemployment insurance, and food assistance. Additionally, I compiled and distributed daily news clips on state and federal policy developments as they apply to safety-net programs and economic stability, and identified and promoted policies to improve opportunities for low-income Americans.As a Political Affairs Intern at The Borgen Project, I worked to increase federal funding for international humanitarian aid, mobilized constituents to contact their political leaders, presented information on global poverty statistics, and launched a successful social media fundraising campaign to raise awareness about global poverty.I am a collaborative team player with strong communication skills, and I thrive in fast-paced, dynamic environments. I am committed to building strong relationships with clients, colleagues, and partners, and I am always seeking new opportunities to network and learn.Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I am excited to connect with other professionals in my field and explore new opportunities to make a positive impact.Sincerely,Charles Huff
