As a graduate of Northern Illinois University, I've developed a strong foundation in research and policy analysis. Before entering the world of labor policy, I honed valuable skills working in the restaurant industry, where I learned the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and problem-solving. Today, as a policy analyst at the Indiana Illinois Iowa Foundation for Fair Contracting (IIFFC), I focus on advocating for fair labor practices, ensuring responsible contracting, and protecting union jobs in the construction industry. I am passionate about building equitable labor policies that foster both growth and fairness in the workforce.
