Washington, District of Columbia, United States
I'm a social scientist and researcher with an MA in anthropology. I'm eager to apply my training as an anthropologist and my experience conducting rigorous qualitative research towards a meaningful career in the fields of public health, social advocacy, social impact assessment, and community development. I'm passionate about contributing my skills and perspective to impactful work benefitting vulnerable communities and stakeholders directly affected by issues related to healthcare inequity, economic inequality, racial justice, labor rights, and environmental reform. In addition to my background in anthropology, I have over three years of professional experience in digital marketing and public relations. I possess exceptional written and verbal communication skills, keen editing abilities, and proven organizational competence that I've honed in fast-paced work environments in a variety of roles. In my free time, I am an avid consumer of music, record collector, and DJ.
