I’m a dedicated professional with a rich and diverse background spanning retail management, academic research, and political campaign coordination. With a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Loyola University Chicago, my academic journey focused on social psychology, particularly identity formation and intersectional equality in education. This foundation has fueled my passion for serving communities and fostering inclusive environments.My career began in retail, managing teams at PetSmart and leading the Hardware Department at Home Depot, where I honed my leadership, organizational, and problem-solving skills. Transitioning into academia, I worked as a Research Assistant for a psychology program at Loyola, diving deep into research that resonates with my commitment to social justice and educational equity.An unexpected encounter with an Illinois State Representative at Binny's transformed my career path. Inspired by his dedication to public service, I pivoted to political work, now serving over two years as his Political Director and Community Outreach Liaison. In these roles, I’ve managed and coordinated political campaigns, worked directly with community members and local officials, and actively participated in initiatives that drive positive change in our district.My journey reflects my adaptability, passion for community service, and commitment to leading with empathy and integrity. I’m driven by the belief that meaningful change comes from collaborative efforts and a deep understanding of the societal structures that shape our experiences. I’m excited about continuing to contribute to impactful projects and campaigns that aim for a more inclusive and equitable society.
