I am committed to creating sustainable solutions that address pressing social issues, and I thrive in collaborative environments. As a politically minded individual with hands-on experience in government, government relations, and campaigning, I have honed my skills in policy advocacy, coalition building, and stakeholder engagement. I am a recent campaign manager with experience working with both Democrats and Republicans. I also have worked within the government, including at the U.S House of Representatives in 2023 and the Nassau County Legislature in 2019. As a seasoned Program Director at Goddard Riverside in New York City, I spearheaded initiatives aimed at empowering young people by providing services related to personal and professional development. This was a supervisory position that required the collaboration with various New York City government agencies, including DOE, NYCHA, DYCD, and others. Graduating summa cum laude from Fordham University with degrees in International Studies and French and Francophone Studies, I am passionate about leveraging my academic foundation to drive meaningful change in global and local communities. My journey has taken me from the classrooms of New York to international teaching with a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) award in Côte d'Ivoire, where I developed educational programs that foster cross-cultural understanding, taught English, and served as a cultural ambassador. I welcome connections and opportunities to engage in meaningful conversations about international affairs, community development, and effective program management!
