Jacob Beaver Email & Phone Number

As a second-year student at The Ohio State University majoring in Public Affairs, I am committed to shaping a better future through effective policy and advocacy. As a Law and Society Scholar, I am privileged to work with a network of accomplished peers and professionals dedicated to positive change within my community. My work experiences span state, local, and federal levels of government, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the public sector. Currently, I have the unique opportunity to contribute to impactful research as a Political Science Research Assistant, focusing on populism, Supreme Court confidence, and the effects of ID policies on recidivism rates. I also gain firsthand experience in local government through my internship with Columbus City Councilmember Shayla Favor. These opportunities fuel my passion for advocating for marginalized communities and inform my pursuit of data-driven solutions to complex social challenges. I am a skilled researcher, analyst, and communicator with experience collaborating effectively in dynamic environments and teams. Eager to continue learning and growing, I aspire to make a lasting impact through public service and evidence-based policymaking.
