Bio

I earned my B.A. in Political Science with a minor in Spanish after studying abroad in Madrid at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. I am now pursuing a Master's in Public Policy at the George Washington University. In the past, I have worked with various campaign organizations and nonprofits. However, I realized these organizations work to address the symptoms of bad policy and will continue to be needed until there is policy reform. I aspire to help reform gun policy in order to reduce gun violence and to reform education policy in order to increase the equality of opportunity in the country.
