Political Science Graduate | Seeking Opportunities in Public Affairs, Policy, and Communications

About

I grew up in Louisville, KY, and recently graduated from Southern Methodist University with a degree in Political Science. During my time at SMU, I also pursued coursework in Sports Management, further developing my interest in the business and operations side of sports. Outside the classroom, my experience includes working on statewide and national political campaigns, supporting field operations, coordinating volunteers, assisting with fundraising, and engaging in voter outreach and political communications. Through these experiences, I have developed a strong foundation in political campaigns, grassroots organizing, fundraising, and voter engagement across Kentucky and Texas. In addition to campaign work, I served for three years on the Executive Committee of Phi Delta Theta at SMU, where I helped oversee chapter operations, coordinate events, and support the recruitment and mentorship of new members. Looking ahead, I hope to continue building a career in government relations, campaign strategy, public affairs, or public service in Washington, D.C., Dallas, TX, or New York City.
