Leveraging a broad academic and professional background, I've developed comprehensive skills in research and analysis, communication, and engagement across the academic, governmental, non-profit, and private sectors. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬I shine in the intersection of research, analysis, and communication. I find research and deep analysis electrifying and I earnestly love exploring the best ways to articulate ideas through writing, speaking, and other forms. As vital as those skills are, they only work because of strong, collaborative relationships. My ability to foster meaningful and productive relationships wherever I go is the skill of which I am the most proud. This ability can be reflected in every past experience of mine, from my connections to coworkers to the myriad leadership roles I have thrived in over the years. I hold a Master of Science from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) with Distinction, in Behavioural Science. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Alberta with First Class Honours, majoring in Political Science.
