As a senior at the University of Connecticut pursuing a major in Human Development and Family Sciences. My focus is on policy issues regarding families and children, by working to support communities affected by policy changes. I strive to learn new skills, communicate with others, and work towards creating a safe, positive, and protective environment for all. My ability to work professionally expresses my willingness to show patience, adaptability, problem solving, and empathy in any situation. With experience in customer service, I have practiced and excelled in these skills to impact those around me. By pursuing a career in public policy, my goal is to research and analyze policy issues in families, children, and communities in hopes transform these under appreciated groups to provide them with resources to succeed.
