I graduated from American University with a degree in Sociology and course focus in Data Science. While at American I was a member of the Honors program where I produced original research and studied abroad at LSE. I have spent the majority of my professional career seeking to promote democracy, reduce political polarization, and prevent political violence. In my free time, I enjoy crafting playlists—a skill I picked up during college radio, cooking, and teaching kids how to rock climb at my local Bouldering Project.
