I am a passionate and policy-driven professional with over three years of experience supporting government relations, public policy, and advocacy efforts within public and nonprofit organizations. My skills include legislative research, stakeholder coordination, public communication, and administrative support. I am committed to advancing equity and educational access for children and families. Currently, I am completing a Master of Public Policy, which has provided me with a strong foundation in California’s legislative processes, bill analysis, and public-facing advocacy support.
