About

Hi! I’m a student at Washington University in St. Louis studying Political Science and History. I believe the most pragmatic way to enact social change is by working through existing institutions, particularly systems of justice and governance. My internships have provided me with the literacy of the operating procedures of these institutions, and my political science studies have served as the theoretical backbone behind this understanding; together these facets have developed my qualitative analysis that enable me to critically evaluate how complex systems operate in practice, and how historical events have enduring contemporary implications on politics and market trends. I believe this perspective differentiates my strategic analysis. My understanding of institutional behavior, incentives, and decision-making structures allow me to translate complex information into qualitative insights that efficiently and proactively inform strategic action. My areas of interest include international development, criminal justice policy and law, and macroeconomic research. Feel free to reach out! Email: [email protected] Phone: (917) 359-6629
