At the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) I work on the Global Health Policy Center team where we work to advance health security through U.S. multilateral agreements and commitments, in order to address global health emergencies and inequalities. Prior to joining the Global Health Policy Center I held an internship with CSIS’s Southeast Asia Program where I conducted research and analysis related to current events and diplomacy in the Southeast Asia and the Pacific region. At CSIS I exercise my B.A. in International Relations from American University (AU), where I concentrated in Climate and Health, with a regional focus in Southeast Asia and the Pacific and a minor in Media/Communication Studies. While at AU I worked for the School of International Service conducting qualitative research on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on HIV/AIDS care for Latinx populations in the DC Metropolitan --research that has been published in a peer-reviewed journal.During my time at AU, I also worked as a Media and Communications Assistant for the Office of Alumni where I created engaging content for over 80,000 alumni across various platforms. I also conducted professional interviews, managed the AU Alumni LinkedIn profile, provided alumni database research, and produced various communication and media content for the office.
