About

I am a recent Marist College graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and Bachelor of Arts in History, along with an Honors College Certificate. I welcome the opportunity to continue to grow and master my skills in government work, legal services, and nonprofit administration. I have a passion for the language of the law. This means that I desire a future in either the governmental capacity to administer and enforce the law, or in the legal capacity to practice it and apply it to everyday life. I treat the authority and beauty of the government and its affairs with the highest reverence and understanding of service. I wish to serve the public, to offer my dedication and knowledge to the noble purposes of protecting people and helping society function. Everyone, including myself, is motivated or pays attention to detail in some capacity. However, I am above all, reliable and trustworthy. From working in entirely team-oriented positions to completing papers in standard organizational structures, my diversity of work/volunteer experience allows me to be adaptable and communicative. I have led teams as much as I have been led and I find joy and success in each of these roles. Whether in public/private legal services, governmental affairs, or policy research I can provide someone who can work with assurance in skills and curiosity in being a mentee.
